BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The prevalence of chronic pain has been increasing in the world, and it is considered the most underestimated health care problem impacting the quality of life. Furthermore, there is little consensus regarding the burden of chronic pain in Brazil. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of chronic pain in the general Brazilian adult population, and the socio-demographic, clinical, medical conditions and pain locations on the body. METHODS: A cross-sectional Internet-based survey was conducted in a nationally representative sample of Brazil adults to estimate the prevalence, sociodemographic correlates and characteristics of chronic pain in the Brazilian population. Twenty--seven-thousand and three hundred forty-five (27,345) representative residents were contacted. RESULTS: From 27,345 individuals, 20,830 (76.17%) presented chronic, recurrent, or long-lasting pain, lasting for at least 6 months. Nearly half of the respondents were 65 years older (48.15%) and the prevalence was higher in females (84,60%) than males (16.40%). The prevalence of primary chronic lower back pain was 59.85%; of primary rheumatoid arthritis was (59.78%) and primary osteoarthritis pain was 69.02%. Half of the respondents with chronic pain experienced daily pain, and average (past 3 months) pain intensity was moderate at 57.28%. CONCLUSION: Chronic pain affects more than two-thirds of the population of Brazil. Our findings revealed a high prevalence and severity of chronic pain and suggested that it is a public health problem in Brazil. Risk factors are being a woman, advanced age and low levels of household income. There is a need for improved health policies in Brazil for patients with chronic pain. RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS:A prevalência de dor crônica tem aumentado no mundo e é considerada o problema de saúde mais subestimado, com impacto na qualidade de vida. Além disso, há pouco consenso em relação à carga da dor crônica ao sistema de saúde no Brasil. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a prevalência de dor crônica na população adulta geral brasileira e as condições sociodemográficas, clínicas, médicas e a localização corporal da dor. METODOS: Foi realizado um estudo transversal, em questionário pela internet em uma amostra nacionalmente representativa de adultos do Brasil, para estimar a prevalência e características da dor crônica na população brasileira. Vinte e sete mil e trezentos e quarenta e cinco (27.345) residentes representativos foram contatados. RESULTADOS: Dos 27.345 indivíduos, 20.830 (76,17%) apresentaram dor crônica, recorrente ou duradoura com duração de pelo menos 6 meses. Quase metade dos entrevistados tinham mais de 65 anos de idade (48,15%) e a prevalência era maior nas mulheres (84,60%) do que nos homens (16,40%). A prevalência de dor lombar crônica primária foi de 59,85%; de artrite reumatoide primária foi (59,78%) e dor primária oriunda de osteoartrite foi de 69,02%. Metade dos entrevistados com dor crônica apresentava dor diária e a intensidade da dor...

“…Neck pain occurs commonly throughout the world and causes substantial disability and economic cost [1]. The prevalence of neck pain was reported to be 20.3% in 2017 and it varies between countries [2]. Pathophysiological mechanisms are lacking and risk factors are multifactorial for most cases of neck pain [3,4].…”

Background/aim: The Profile Fitness Mapping neck questionnaire (ProFitMap-neck) is a reliable and valid assessment instrument for measuring neck-related symptoms and functional limitations in people with neck pain, but a Turkish version of it had not been published. The purpose of this study was to investigate the adaptation, validity, and intrarater reliability of the Turkish version of the ProFitMap-neck. Materials and methods: Two hundred and thirty-five individuals with chronic neck pain were enrolled in the study. Intrarater reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha was calculated for internal consistency. For concurrent validity, ProFitMap-neck scores were compared with neck disability index (NDI) and visual analoguepain scale (VAS) scores using Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis. The ProFitMap-neck, NDI, VAS, and short form health survey (SF-36) were administered to all participants. Results: For intrarater analysis, ICC ranged between 0.72 and 0.84. The total score was 0.83, indicating excellent reliability. The correlation of the ProFitMap-neck with NDI and VAS was 0.71 and 0.68, respectively, indicating good concurrent validity. Conclusion: The ProFitMap-neck is an evaluation instrument with sufficient validity and reliability to be used for evaluating Turkish patients with neck pain. Use of this scale can reveal how, how often, and how much these patients' pain affects their symptoms and functional activities.

“…It should be noted that most of the respondents reported that the symptoms slightly reduced their ability to work, and the frequency of their occurrence was almost daily, but most of these symptoms were neglected or left untreated. This may be attributed to their socioeconomic status [26], because if they need to be at work to ensure financial support for their families, they neglect the WMSD symptoms and also the disorders, so they stop working only when it's impossible to continue. This may cause them to fail to fully recuperate and make the symptoms worse.…”

In this study, the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was administered to a valid sample of 81 Taiwanese bakery workers to explore their discomfort or symptoms of work-related musculoskeletal disorders and identify the risk factors. Wrist postures were also examined during 3 typical dough operations (kneading, rolling, and rounding) by using an electrogoniometer. The prevalence of musculoskeletal discomfort in any part of the body in the past year among the respondents was 93.0%, with the highest prevalence of 66.3% and 51.8% in the hands/wrists (right and left), followed by the prevalence of 50.6% and 45.8% in the shoulders (right and left) and the lower back (48.2%), respectively. The results also revealed that during the 3 dough processing operations, the workers’ wrist movements in specific operations were close to the recommended limits suggested in previous studies, especially the ulnar deviation and palm flexion of the right wrist during dough kneading and the radial deviation of the left wrist during dough rolling and rounding. The study findings can be used to explain why the bakers self-report a high proportion of wrist and shoulder disorders and can also serve as a reference for task rearrangement and redesign.
