Prevalence and Predictors of High‐Impact Chronic Pain in the General German Population

The prevalence of bothersome and high-impact chronic pain rather than prevalence rates of any chronic pain might provide evidence in support of pain specialist care. Identifying risk factors of high-impact chronic pain in specific populations could lead to an improved understanding of the risk factors, causes and consequences of chronic pain. European public health policies could be influenced by gathering data on high-impact chronic pain in other European countries.
