Aim: To examine the prevalence of fatigue and its association with pain intensity, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance in patients with NP. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study on 296 NP patients with a mean age of 30±7.2 years (181 males and 115 females) was conducted between March 2019 till November 2019. It was conducted at the Physiotherapy Department of the University and Amarjyoti College of Physiotherapy.

Fatigue was significantly related with pain intensity, psychological factors, and sleep quality (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Fatigue was a prominent factor in patients with NP and it was associated with pain intensity, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance.

Introduction: Neck Pain (NP) is a major public health problem.
Social and economic participation of many individuals gets
negatively impacted due to NP. Fatigue and pain are common
complaints in patients with this condition. Both can interfere
with the daily life of patients by affecting the quality of sleep
which can lead to psychological issues. But, the prevalence
of fatigue and its association with pain, sleep quality and
psychological factors have not been examined properly in
patients complaining of NP.
Aim: To examine the prevalence of fatigue and its association
with pain intensity, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance
in patients with NP.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study on 296 NP
patients with a mean age of 30±7.2 years (181 males and 115
females) was conducted between March 2019 till November
2019. It was conducted at the Physiotherapy Department of
the University and Amarjyoti College of Physiotherapy. The
Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI), Hospital Anxiety and
Depression, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Numeric
Pain Rating Scale were used to evaluate fatigue, depression
and anxiety, sleep quality and pain intensity, respectively.
Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and Mann-Whitney U
test were used for analysis.
Results: The point prevalence rate of severe fatigue in
participants was 39.86%. Fatigue was significantly related
with pain intensity, psychological factors, and sleep quality
(p<0.05). We also observed a significant association between
sleep quality and psychological factors in this sample
(p<0.05).
Conclusion: Fatigue was a prominent factor in patients with NP
and it was associated with pain intensity, depression, anxiety,
and sleep disturbance. Prevalence of fatigue was higher in
chronic stage of NP than in the acute sage. Identifying these
factors may help in prevention and management of NP and its
co-morbidities. |
