Abstract

Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain (CMP) is a prevalent and disabling condition that affects a significant portion of the adult population worldwide. This study explores the pain intensity experienced by individuals with CMP and the factors contributing to variations in pain perception. Utilizing a cross-sectional analysis, we assess the demographic and clinical factors influencing pain intensity, with a focus on severity, duration, and comorbidities. Our findings highlight that age, gender, psychological distress, and physical activity level are significant predictors of pain intensity. The study also discusses the impact of chronic pain on quality of life and suggests potential approaches for improving patient outcomes through tailored interventions.
