Summary

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a major public health concern. Approximately one in four consult their general practitioner (GP) with a musculoskeletal problem during the course of a year, making it the largest diagnostic group. Modifiable factors including affective disorders (e.g. anxiety and depressive symptoms) and sleep problems may be important prognostic factors for MSK pain. However, there is a lack of prospective research examining the interaction between these conditions in patients with MSK pain in a GP-setting.

Detailed description

This is a prospective cohort study of 299 participants from a GP-setting. Investigators will evaluate the occurrence of MSK pain at one-year follow-up and how the predictors (anxiety, depressive, and sleep problems and multi-site MSK pain) are associated with prognosis of MSK pain. A secondary aim will be to identify those factors associated with new onset MSK pain. Participants will complete a sleep questionnaire (the ATHENS insomnia questionnaire) containing 8 questions about sleep quality and quantity and a questionnaire (The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score)) containing 14 questions focusing on anxiety and depression.
