Dataset and Supporting Materials for the Eduard Touch Method (ETM): A Clinical Reasoning Framework for Musculoskeletal Pain and Functional Impairment
Description
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. A related Figshare preprint record is available under DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.32315508.

Steps to reproduce
The materials are intended for documentation and scholarly reference. To review the dataset, download the manuscript PDF and supporting files. The article describes the ETM framework, including the three-level pain regulation model and the test–intervention–retest decision sequence. No computational analysis or patient-level dataset is required to reproduce the materials.
