Unspecified pain, chronic pain, and high-impact chronic pain in Lesotho: a population-based cross-sectional study
The prevalence of chronic pain and high-impact chronic pain was elevated in our study population. Associations with further noncommunicable chronic conditions, such as arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, support the need for health systems to provide integrated chronic care which includes pain management.
