疼痛已成为患者就医时最常见的伴随症状。这是公共卫生的主要问题之一。在西班牙，没有关于疼痛对一般人群影响的可靠数据。该研究的目的是估计西班牙一般人群中急性和慢性疼痛的患病率。通过电话调查进行了一项流行病学观察性人群横断面研究。对18-95岁的人群进行多步分层配额调整抽样。采用计算机辅助问卷调查，内容包括身体疼痛症状、部位、频率、感知原因、治疗措施和对日常生活活动的干扰。有效联系人11980人，有效访谈5000人（有效样本的42%）。在受访者中，29.6%（95%置信区间，28.3-30.8%）报告前一天有疼痛（女性，37.6%，男性，20.9%），前一周有43.2%。最常见的疼痛部位是下肢（22.7%）和背部（颈椎和腰椎水平）（21.5%）。其次是头部（20.5%）。疼痛的频率随着年龄的增长而增加，65岁以上的人达到42.6%。在过去的一天或一周里抱怨疼痛的人中。54%（慢性疼痛）的症状持续时间超过3个月，占西班牙总人口的23.4%，慢性疼痛的最常见原因是关节炎、风湿病和偏头痛。在治疗方面，61.7%抱怨疼痛的人说他们正在服用药物。66.4%的病例的药物治疗建议来源是医生或护士，29%的病例是自我处方。它的结论是疼痛，特别是慢性疼痛，在西班牙的一般人群中有很高的患病率和职业和社会关系的显着影响。(C)2002年，国际疼痛研究协会欧洲分会联合会。
Pain has become the most common accompanying symptom in patients seeking medical advice. and it is one of the main issues in public health. In Spain, there are no reliable data about the impact of pain in general population. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of acute and chronic pain in the Spanish general population. An epidemiological observational population-based cross-sectional study was carried out by means of a telephone survey. Multistep stratified quota-adjusted sampling was performed with people aged 18-95 years. A computer-assisted questionnaire was administered, covering physical pain symptoms, site, frequency, perceived cause, therapeutic measures and interference with daily life activities. There were 11980 useful contacts, with 5000 effective interviews (42% of useful sample). Of the interviewees, 29.6% (95% confidence interval, 28.3-30.8%) reported having had pain the day before (women, 37.6%, men, 20.9%) and 43.2% the week before. Most common pain sites were lower extremities (22.7%) and back (cervical and lumbar levels) (21.5%). followed by head (20.5%). Frequency of pain increased with age, reaching 42.6% for people older than 65 years. Among people complaining of pain during the last day or week. duration of symptoms was higher than 3 months in 54% (chronic pain), representing 23.4% of the Spanish general population, most common causes of chronic pain were arthritis, rheumatism and migraine. Regarding treatment, 61.7% of people complaining of pain said they were taking drugs. Source of drug treatment advice was a physician or a nurse in 66.4% of cases and self-prescription in 29%. It is concluded that pain, particularly chronic pain, has a high prevalence in the Spanish general population and a significant impact on occupational and social relationships.
