A systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of chronic widespread pain in the general population. (2015)
Journal Article
Mansfield, K. E., Sim, J., Jordan, J. L., & Jordan, K. P. (2015). A systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of chronic widespread pain in the general population. PAIN, 157(1), 55-64. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000000314

Chronic widespread pain (CWP) is common and associated with poor general health. There has been no attempt to derive a robust prevalence estimate of CWP, or assess how this is influenced by socio-demographic factors. This study therefore aimed to det...
