We aimed to rank the most common locations of pain among Google users globally and locally and analyze secular and seasonal trends in pain-related searches in the years 2004-2019. We used data generated by Google Trends (GT) to identify and analyze global interest in topics ( = 24) related to locations of pain and how these progressed over time. We analyzed secular trends and time series decomposition to identify seasonal variations. We also calculated the interest in all topics with reference to the relative search volume (RSV) of "Abdominal pain". Google users were most commonly interested in "Headache" (1.30 [times more frequently than "Abdominal pain"]), "Abdominal pain" (1.00), and "Back pain" (0.84). "Headache" was the most frequent search term in = 41 countries, while "Abdominal pain" was the most frequent term in = 27 countries. The interest in all pain-related topics except "Dyspareunia" increased over time. The sharpest increase was observed for "Abdominal pain" (5.67 RSV/year), and "Toothache" (5.52 RSV/year). Most of the topics revealed seasonal variations. Among pain-related topics, "Headache," "Abdominal pain," and "Back pain" interested most Google users. GT is a novel tool that allows retrospective investigation of complaints among Internet users.
我们旨在对全球和本地谷歌用户最常见的疼痛部位进行排名，并分析 2004 年至 2019 年期间与疼痛相关的搜索的季节性和时间趋势。我们使用谷歌趋势（GT）生成的数据来确定和分析与疼痛部位相关的主题（=24）的全球兴趣，以及这些主题随时间的变化。我们分析了长期趋势和时间序列分解，以确定季节性变化。我们还计算了所有主题相对于“腹痛”（RSV）的相对搜索量的兴趣。谷歌用户最常关注的是“头痛”（比“腹痛”高 1.30 倍）、“腹痛”（1.00）和“背痛”（0.84）。“头痛”是 41 个国家/地区最常见的搜索词，而“腹痛”是 27 个国家/地区最常见的搜索词。除“性交痛”外，与所有疼痛相关主题的兴趣都随时间增加。“腹痛”（5.67 RSV/年）和“牙痛”（5.52 RSV/年）的增幅最大。大多数主题都显示出季节性变化。在与疼痛相关的主题中，“头痛”、“腹痛”和“背痛”最受谷歌用户关注。GT 是一种新颖的工具，允许对互联网用户的投诉进行回顾性调查。
