Pain is by far the most common chronic ailment in America, study finds

Last updated: 2024/02/03 at 5:16 AM

Pain is the most common chronic ailment in America by far, a new study finds, and people in pain tend to stay in pain over the course of a year.

The study, published this week in JAMA Network Open, compared the pain scores of more than 10,000 people from 2019 to 2020.

Pain was found to be far more common than other chronic diseases. If 1,000 people were measured for a year, the study said, there would be 52 cases of chronic pain, 45 cases of high blood pressure, 16 cases of depression, and seven cases of diabetes.

THE PAIN CRISIS: America has a pain problem. How can we find relief?

Volunteers were asked several questions: “In the past 3 months, how often did you have pain? Would you say never, some days, most days, or every day?” and “Over the past 3 months, how often did pain limit your life or work activities? Would you say never, some days, most days, or every day?”

At the start, about 40% reported no pain, about the same percentage reported some pain and more than 20% reported chronic pain, suffering on most days or every day for at least the past three months.

In some cases, people recovered over the following year, while for others, their pain progressed. Nearly 15% of those with some pain in 2019 reported chronic pain a year later, while 10% of those reporting chronic pain in 2019 no longer had it the following year.

But the more pain someone was in in 2019, the more likely they were to still be suffering a year later and the greater their chances of having pain that limited their life or work activities.
