Persistent Pain and Well-being

Article Abstract:

Pain appears to be a common consequence of psychological illness across cultures. Researchers collected data on pain, psychological illness and disability in 5,438 primary care patients from 15 centers in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. Overall, 22% of the patients reported persistent pain, but the percentages ranged from 5% to 33% depending on the country. Those with pain were more likely to have anxiety and depressive disorders. Persistent pain was consistently linked to psychological illness in all cultures, but not to disability.
