Osteoarticular pain is a common condition in the adult population. It is a nociceptive pain modulated by different factors, and it is one of the major symptoms that force patients to seek medical advice. Since osteoarticular pain has a complex pathophysiology and it is not a linear condition, we propose in this paper an original approach to osteoarticular pain by paradigms, where a paradigm refers to a framework of concepts, results, and procedures within which subsequent work is structured. The paradigm presented is a conceptual tool that could help clinicians to choose the correct therapy considering both pain characteristics and clinical features.
