- People whose stroke has been confirmed by a brain scan (CT or MRI)
- People whose pain appeared after their stroke and is felt in areas of the body that match where the stroke caused damage

- People aged 18 or older
- People who have had pain for at least 3 months

- People with severe memory or thinking difficulties that make it hard to participate in pain assessments (based on a standard cognitive test score below 15)
