Haggai SharonHila GreenerUri HochbergSilviu BrillPublished in: Pain research & management (2022)
This is the first internet survey conducted in Israel to estimate the incidence of CP, and the high CP prevalence documented is in agreement with previous reports from Europe and the USA. It also reaffirms the widespread existence of multifocal or widespread pain in clinical chronic pain and the correlation between pain intensity, impact on patients' quality of life and disability, and pain intractability. These data reaffirm the similarly major health burden CP presents across different countries and cultures.
