No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is highly prevalent, disabling, and with high socio-economic costs, with many negative effects on quality of life. CMP affects the ability to perform work, social, recreational and domestic tasks, changing the mood and concentration of this population. Despite the worldwide prevalence and socioeconomic burden of CMP, a clear understanding of its etiology and pathogenesis remains elusive.

Aims:

(i) to analyze the possible level of association between pain-related fear, fear of movement, self-efficacy, and pain acceptance with pain intensity and disability at the start of the study and prospectively evaluate its predictive function; (ii) to evaluate the possible mediating role of fear of movement and self-efficacy in the relationship between pain-disability in patients with CMP.
