Chronic pain and use of painkillers, healthcare services and long-term impairment among Syrian refugees: a cross-sectional study
Despite their young age, more than a quarter of the Syrian refugees in our study reported chronic pain one year after resettlement in Norway. High levels of pain were related to the use of medication, healthcare services, and long-term impairment. Understanding the dynamics of pain among refugees is crucial to ensure adequate and timely management.
