Investigate the connections within ÖMPSQ-short score and various well-known determinants for chronic pain.
The Örebro
Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (ÖMPSQ) was developed to identify
patients at risk of developing work disability due to pain. This cross
sectional study conducted at Oulu university, Finland demonstrated that the
high number of pain sites and smoking among both genders, and obesity and low
education level among females is associated with higher ÖMPSQ scores.
Investigate the connections within ÖMPSQ-short score and
various well-known determinants for chronic pain.
The participants (46 years old) that relating to the
Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966
fulfilled a questionnaire. The questionnaire involved the ÖMPSQ-short
along with questions regarding education, location, smoking, physical activity,
and the number of pain sites. Also, height and body weight were estimated to
determine the body mass index.
Four to five pain sites, current smoking, and ≥6 pain
sites were linked with being divided into the ÖMPSQ high-risk group. In
females, also less than nine years of education, and obesity were related to
higher ÖMPSQ score. The incidence of physical activity was not correlated with the
ÖMPSQ score.
The smoking and a large number of pain sites amongst both
genders, and low education level and obesity amidst females is related to
greater ÖMPSQ scores. Consequently, the ÖMPSQ-short may be a practical device
for also screening the general population.
