Purpose of Review:

To determine the level of physical activity and health-related quality of life in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain of 3–6-month duration who have not been diagnosed or treated before.

Recent Findings:

Low levels of quality of life and physical activity have been reported for patients with musculoskeletal pain with a duration of longer than 6 months. This study assessed the levels of quality of life and physical activity at the beginning stage of chronic musculuskeletal pain.

Summary:

Prospective cross-sectional study carried out at a musculoskeletal and sports medicine clinic. Eighty-five consecutive patients with muskuloskeletal (i.e., spine, peripheral joint, muscle, tendon) pain of 3–6-month duration, not diagnosed before, age 14 and older, and from either gender were recruited. Short Form-36 Health Survey and International Physical Activity Questionnaire long were administered during assessments. Scores on subscales of Short Form-36 Health Survey and total scores of International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used as outcome measures. A total of 85 patients with an age range of 15–86 (51.22 ± 15.99) were enrolled. There were 23 male (27.06%) and 62 (72.94%) female subjects. Forty-six (54.11%) patients had three or less painful regions; 39 (45.88%) had more than three painful regions. Majority of the patients had low scores on both Short Form-36 Health Survey subscales and International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Forty-nine patients had low, 32 patients had moderate, and 4 patients had high level of physical activity. Overall, females had lower level of physical activity in all age groups. All patients had less than optimal scores on all subscales of Physical Health and Mental Health scales of the Short Form-36. The female patients had lower scores in role physical and bodily pain subscales of physical health. Patients with musculoskeletal pain duration of 3–6 months have low levels of physical activity and health-related quality of life at the time of their first evaluation.

持续3-6个月的慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛患者的健康相关生活质量和体育锻炼水平较低。

审查目的：

确定以前从未诊断或治疗过的，持续时间为3至6个月的慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛的患者的体育锻炼水平和与健康相关的生活质量。

最近的发现：

据报道，肌肉骨骼疼痛患者的生活质量和体育活动水平较低，持续时间超过6个月。这项研究评估了慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛初期的生活质量和身体活动水平。

概要：

前瞻性横断面研究在肌肉骨骼和运动医学诊所进行。连续征集了85例持续3-6个月，未确诊，年龄在14岁及以上且来自任何性别的肌肉骨骼（即脊柱，外周关节，肌肉，肌腱）疼痛的患者。评估期间进行了简短的36型健康调查和长期国际体育锻炼问卷调查。简短的36型健康调查子量表的得分和国际体育活动问卷的总得分被用作结果度量。入选了年龄范围为15-86（51.22±15.99）的85位患者。有23位男性（27.06％）和62位（72.94％）女性。46名（54.11％）患者的疼痛区域不超过三个；39个（45.88％）的疼痛区域超过三个。大多数患者在36式健康调查子量表和国际体育锻炼问卷中的得分均较低。低水平的患者有49例，中度的患者为32例，体育锻炼的患者为4例。总体而言，女性在所有年龄段的体育活动水平都较低。所有患者在Short Form-36的所有“身体健康”和“心理健康”量表上均未达到最佳分数。女性患者在身体健康的身体和身体疼痛分量表中得分较低。肌肉骨骼疼痛持续时间为3到6个月的患者在进行首次评估时体力活动水平较低，且与健康相关的生活质量较低。中度32例，体力活动高4例。总体而言，女性在所有年龄段的体育活动水平都较低。所有患者在Short Form-36的所有“身体健康”和“心理健康”量表上均未达到最佳分数。女性患者在身体健康的身体和身体疼痛分量表中得分较低。肌肉骨骼疼痛持续时间为3到6个月的患者在进行首次评估时体力活动水平较低，且与健康相关的生活质量较低。中度32例，体力活动高4例。总体而言，女性在所有年龄段的体育活动水平都较低。所有患者在Short Form-36的所有“身体健康”和“心理健康”量表上均未达到最佳分数。女性患者在身体健康的身体和身体疼痛分量表中得分较低。肌肉骨骼疼痛持续时间为3到6个月的患者在进行首次评估时体力活动水平较低，且与健康相关的生活质量较低。女性患者在身体健康的身体和身体疼痛分量表中得分较低。肌肉骨骼疼痛持续时间为3到6个月的患者在首次评估时身体活动水平低，且与健康相关的生活质量较低。女性患者在身体健康的身体和身体疼痛分量表中得分较低。肌肉骨骼疼痛持续时间为3到6个月的患者在进行首次评估时体力活动水平较低，且与健康相关的生活质量较低。
