“…Several studies have used the BPI in investigating pain in different comorbidities. Some have also investigated the cutoff points of mild (0-4), moderate (5-6), and severe pain (7)(8)(9)(10). 29,39 In the present study, the mean score was 3.7 for pain intensity and 3.9 for interference.…”

“…A qualitative study found that unrelieved pain was a problem in patients with COPD. 7 There are also papers reporting on pain-related problems in those with COPD, such as headaches 8 and discomfort in legs during activity and in respiratory muscles. 9 However, there is sparse knowledge about the intensity, location, and nature of pain in patients with COPD.…”

“…Three studies used the body outline diagram of the BPI to investigate the most prominent locations of the experienced pain 917 20 Most frequently reported locations of pain were the shoulders and neck: 33% (n=15),9 36.4% (n=56)20 and 50% (n=8)17; lumbar region: 29.2%(n=45)20 and 47% (n=21)9 and chest: 17.5% (n=27),20 36% (n=16)9 and 38% (n=6) 17. None of the included studies investigated the type of pain (eg, neuropathic or nociceptive pain) or conducted a comprehensive pain assessment.…”

ObjectivesTo systematically investigate the prevalence of pain, factors related with pain and pain management interventions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data sources and study eligibility criteriaPubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, CINAHL and PsychINFO from 1966 to December 2013. Studies were included if they presented clinical data on pain or symptom burden in patients with COPD, or pain as a domain of quality of life (QoL). All types of study designs were included.ResultsOf the 1571 articles that were identified, 39 met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Fourteen studies focused on pain and symptom burden (including pain) in patients with COPD and 25 studies focused on QoL using a questionnaire that included a separate pain domain. Reported pain prevalence in high-quality studies ranged from 32 to 60%. Included studies report that pain is more prevalent in patients with COPD compared to participants from the general population. Comorbidity, nutritional status, QoL and several symptoms were related to pain. None of the included studies reported a significant relationship between lung function and pain prevalence or severity. However, studies investigating pain in patients with moderate COPD reported higher pain prevalence compared to studies in patients with severe of very severe COPD.ConclusionsAlthough literature on this topic is limited and shows substantial heterogeneity, pain seems to be a significant problem in patients with COPD and is related to several other symptoms, comorbidity and QoL. Data synthesis suggests that pain is more prevalent in patients with moderate COPD compared to patients with severe or very severe COPD. Further research is needed and should focus on determining a more accurate pain prevalence, investigating the relationship between pain prevalence, disease severity and comorbidity and explore implementation and efficacy of pain management interventions in patients with COPD.

“…However, patients with COPD report that support from healthcare providers is rare concerning sleeping difficulties 45 . Multiple symptoms are known to catalyze and negatively affect each other 11 and thereby affect the quality of sleep 46,47 . Night-time symptoms and sleep disturbance are still "forgotten" dimensions in patients with COPD 48 that need more attention in care and research.…”

To describe a multidimensional symptom profile in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and determine whether symptom experience differed between patients with moderate or severe airflow limitations.Background. Patients with severe airflow limitation experience numerous symptoms, but
