description EDITORIAL A progressive understanding of pain, disability, and health requires consideration of factors that may not easily be captured quantitatively. Qualitative research is a valuable tool to explore these “uncountable” phenomena and inform high-quality patient-centered care.

This editorial discusses what qualitative research is and how it can inform musculoskeletal clinical practice.
