The domains included demographics, pain, daily functioning, and emotional health. The clustering analysis employed the k-prototype algorithm. Cluster characteristics were summarised and quantified using multinomial logistic regression.

Five clusters were identified: Fibromyalgia-like pain (FP, 11.2%), multisite pain (MP, 17.9%), younger with regional pain (21.9%), middle age with regional pain (MRP, 25.5%), and elderly with regional pain (ERP, 23.5%). FP was associated with more severe health-related outcomes, characterised by greater depression, fatigue, and difficulties with daily activities and social relationships. Sleep, mobility, and usual activities were commonly affected at mild and moderate levels across all clusters. Fatigue and depression varied, with FP and MP experiencing greater impacts. ERP and MRP were associated with a lower likelihood of adverse health-related outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All chronic pain clusters identified from the UK Biobank showed common challenges in sleep, mobility and daily functioning; the impacts of fatigue and depression varied between clusters. The next step involves engaging key stakeholders to create, refine, and validate these personas to inform the development of targeted digital health interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/20552076251333497","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,14]],"date-time":"2025-05-14T19:39:42Z","timestamp":1747251582000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Identifying chronic pain subgroups in the UK biobank for persona development: A clustering analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0233-2469","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ting-Chen Chloe","family":"Hsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Musculoskeletal Research, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8689-3919","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pauline","family":"Whelan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Informatics, Division of Informatics, Imaging &amp; Data Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2365-1765","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher J","family":"Armitage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manchester Centre for Health Psychology, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"},{"name":"NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Research Collaboration, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7047-2183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"McBeth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Musculoskeletal Research, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"},{"name":"The NIHR Manchester Musculoskeletal Biomedical Research Unit, Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK"},{"name":"School of Primary Care, Population Sciences and Medical Education, University of Southampton, Southampton, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2018.03.523"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.31478\/202206e"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2021-059152"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2016.06.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_6_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"A new framework for developing and evaluating complex interventions: update of medical research council guidance","volume":"374","author":"Skivington K","year":"2021","unstructured":"Skivington K, Matthews L, Simpson SA, et al.
