“…Psychological distress under natural disasters was considered to affect peoples' perception of pain (Angeletti et al 2014), and a reduced pain threshold and elevated sympathetic nervous system activity were considered as candidate reasons (Angeletti et al 2012(Angeletti et al , 2014. Musculoskeletal pain after natural disasters disturbed activities of daily living of survivors (Hagiwara et al 2017a). Furthermore, in this study, that pain was associated with the onset of sleep disturbance, which was also major problem after natural disasters.…”

“…The Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE), which was followed by a devastating tsunami, hit the northeastern coastal area of Japan on 11th March, 2011 and left approximately 18,500 people dead or missing (Ishigaki et al 2013). Although six years have passed, 119,000 survivors have still had to evacuate from their hometowns because of their dwelling environments and accidents of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (Hagiwara et al 2017a). Various factors related to the earthquake, such as life-threatening stress, unhealthy conditions, social isolation, uncertainty over the future, and dwelling environments, have been reported to relate to the onset or worsening of some diseases (Matsumoto et al 2014;Yabuki et al 2015;Sone et al 2016;Yabe et al 2017).…”

Sleep disturbance is a common symptom after natural disasters. Although musculoskeletal pain also increases after natural disasters, its relation to sleep disturbance is not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of musculoskeletal pain on new-onset sleep disturbance among survivors after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE). A prospective cohort study was conducted with the survivors of the GEJE at two and three years after the earthquake. New-onset sleep disturbance was defined as sleep disturbance absent at two years and present at three years after the earthquake. The sites of musculoskeletal pain included low back, shoulder, knee, and hand or foot. The number of musculoskeletal pain sites at two years after the earthquake was divided into three categories (0, 1, and 2 or more). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) for new-onset sleep disturbance according to the number of musculoskeletal pain sites. A total of 1,102 survivors were included in this study and 14.6% of the participants reported new-onset sleep disturbance. Using "0" as a reference, the adjusted ORs (95% CI) for new-onset sleep disturbance were 2.43 (1.55-3.80) in "1" and 2.96 (1.88-4.64) in "2 or more", respectively (P for trends < 0.001). In conclusion, this is the first study showing higher incidence of sleep disturbance among survivors with musculoskeletal pain after the GEJE. Care for musculoskeletal pain is important to prevent sleep disturbance after natural disasters.

“…The questions included: “Have you had symptoms in the last few days? If yes, please place a check mark next to all your symptoms.” The examples of choices were palpitations, dizziness, diarrhea, gastric pain, and musculoskeletal symptoms such as knee, hand or foot, low back, shoulder, and neck pain [16]. Among those, knee, hand or foot, low back, shoulder, and neck pain was defined as musculoskeletal pain [17].…”

Background Functional disability is a significant problem after natural disasters. Musculoskeletal pain is reported to increase after disasters, which can cause functional disability among survivors. However, the effects of musculoskeletal pain on functional decline after natural disasters are unclear. The present study aimed to examine the association between musculoskeletal pain and new-onset poor physical function among elderly survivors after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Methods A longitudinal study was conducted on survivors aged ≥65 years at three and 4 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake. A total of 747 persons were included in this study. Physical function was assessed using the Kihon Checklist. New-onset poor physical function was defined as low physical function not present at 3 years but present at 4 years after the disaster. Knee, hand or foot, low back, shoulder, and neck pain was assessed using a self-reported questionnaire and was defined as musculoskeletal pain. Musculoskeletal pain at 3 years after the disaster was categorized according to the number of pain regions (0, 1, ≥ 2). Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for new-onset poor physical function due to musculoskeletal pain. Results The incidence of new-onset poor physical function was 14.9%. New-onset poor physical function was significantly associated with musculoskeletal pain. Compared with “0” musculoskeletal pain region, the adjusted ORs (95% CI) were 1.39 (0.75–2.58) and 2.69 (1.52–4.77) in “1” and “≥ 2” musculoskeletal pain regions, respectively (p for trend = 0.003). Conclusions Musculoskeletal pain is associated with new-onset poor physical function among elderly survivors after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Monitoring musculoskeletal pain is important to prevent physical function decline after natural disasters.
