Dataset and Supporting Materials for the Eduard Touch Method (ETM): A Clinical Reasoning Framework for Musculoskeletal Pain and Functional Impairment

This dataset contains supporting materials for the article “Eduard Touch Method (ETM): A Multi-Level Clinical Reasoning Framework for Musculoskeletal Pain and Functional Impairment with a Test–Intervention–Retest Standard and Case-Based Demonstration.” The materials support the presentation of the Eduard Touch Method (ETM) as a structured clinical reasoning framework for musculoskeletal pain and functional limitation. ETM is based on identification of the dominant pain regulation level — peripheral, neurosegmental, or central — and verification of clinical change through a standardized test–intervention–retest (TIR) procedure. The dataset may include the manuscript PDF, ETM framework diagrams, decision-flow materials, and anonymized case-summary materials intended for educational, methodological, and research documentation purposes. No identifiable patient-level data are included. A related archived version of the article is available on Zenodo under DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18714179.
