To evaluate whether digital pain extent is associated with an array of psychological factors such as optimism, pessimism, expectations of recovery, pain acceptance, and pain self-efficacy beliefs as well as to analyse the association between digital pain extent and pain intensity and pain-related disability in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a primary health care setting was carried out including 186 individuals with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Patient-reported outcomes were used to assess psychological factors, pain intensity, and pain-related disability. Digital pain extent was obtained from pain drawings shaded using a tablet and analysed using novel customized software. Multiple linear regression models were conducted to evaluate the association between digital pain extent and the aforementioned variables.
Digital pain extent was statistically significantly associated with pain intensity. However, digital pain extent was not associated with any psychological measure nor with pain-related disability.
The results did not support an association between digital pain extent and psychological measures.
评估数字疼痛程度是否与一系列心理因素相关，如乐观、悲观、康复期望、疼痛接受度和疼痛自我效能信念，以及分析数字疼痛程度与慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛患者的疼痛强度和与疼痛相关的残疾之间的关系。
在初级医疗保健环境中进行了一项描述性横断面研究，共纳入 186 名患有慢性肌肉骨骼疼痛的患者。使用患者报告的结果来评估心理因素、疼痛强度和与疼痛相关的残疾。使用平板电脑对疼痛绘图进行阴影处理以获得数字疼痛程度，并使用新定制的软件进行分析。进行了多元线性回归模型，以评估数字疼痛程度与上述变量之间的关系。
数字疼痛程度与疼痛强度具有统计学显著相关性。然而，数字疼痛程度与任何心理测量指标或与疼痛相关的残疾均无关联。
结果不支持数字疼痛程度与心理测量指标之间的关联。
