“…Additionally, the proportion of female respondents (69.0%) was higher than the proportion of women in the source population (58.2%). A higher proportion of women than of men has often been observed in population-based studies on chronic pain 16,54,61,67,68 and back pain, 46,13,[16][17][18] which may lead to overestimation of the prevalence of pain. In our study, the higher proportion of women in the sample can be explained by the fact that 59% of the source population consisted of women.…”

Background: Chronic pain has been estimated to affect between 2% -40% of the adult population and its prevalence is increasing. Objectives: This study aimed to provide epidemiological data of chronic pain and associated factors in Tehran, capital of Iran. Patients and Method:We analyzed the data of 23457 people, from the Urban HEART-2 (health equity assessment and response tool) study in Tehran, collected in October 2011, and determined the association between any type of chronic pain and other variables using multiple logistic regressions. Results: The prevalence of chronic pain among adults in Tehran City was 24%. Chronic low back pain and chronic knee pain were the most common complaints (12.4% and 11.2%, respectively). A significant difference was found in the prevalence of chronic pain between districts of Tehran (P < 0.001). Associated factors were different for different types of chronic pain, and anxiety and increasing age were identified as common risk factors associated with all types of chronic pain (P < 0.001). Conclusions:The results of this study show a considerable prevalence of chronic pain among adults in Tehran. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to different types of chronic pain by planners and policy makers.

“…Brazil has approximately 40% of the population living with chronic pain, as shown by studies in Salvador, Maranhão and São Paulo 4,6,9 . Raw epidemiological data of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and DATASUS reflect clear subnotifications for being obtained by sampling as from the interview of just one dweller in each drawn home, aged equal to or above 18 years, without distinction of gender, age group, color or race or whether the population is urban or rural 21 .…”

“…This document identifies two major causes of low back pain: lifestyle and industrialization. It is interesting to note that economic rights are legitimated by capitalist forces themselves; however, the right to health is still not legitimated [3][4][5][6][7]9 . This confirms the need to legitimate care of chronic pain patients starting with the principle of dignity of human beings 28 .…”

“…Although in acute conditions pain is a transient and physiological symptom useful for survival and related to noxious causal agents, when evolving to chronic state it becomes a morbidity by itself and affects large part of the world population, with prevalence from 12 to 55% 3,5 . In Brazil, it is estimated that more than 40% of the population has chronic pain 4,6,9 , which requires more than just public health actions, and its treatment and relief should be understood as Human Rights legitimation 8,[10][11][12] . In the perspective of the Right to Health, integral part of Social Rights, which is part of Fundamental Rights, it is necessary that member States protect people with regard to their basic needs 13,14 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Chronic pain is a complex and multidimensional problem with consequences for its appreciation in different social segments. It is necessary to understand how human rights may provide basis for political health actions on the subject. This study aimed at evaluating how the legitimation of human rights to the access to chronic pain management is being dealt with. CONTENTS: Research tools were literature review and documental analysis. Due to the qualitative model used, we decided to follow recommendations of the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research, available in http://www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24979285. Data were collected via Internet and statements, legislations and conferences related to human rights and health in chronic pain were included. Data were compared to national and international health policies, involving data from the Department of Health database. After analysis of human rights health promotion documents, we have identified that the Declaration of Montreal of 2010, developed by the International Association for the Study of Pain, has the foundations for political actions to manage and control chronic pain. Notwithstanding the participation of Brazil in support to this Declaration, there are still few concrete actions to implement strategies proposed by the model. We have also identified the major socio-economic impact of chronic pain on Brazilian contemporary society. CONCLUSION: Chronic pain should be studied and managed as a public health problem and health policies need to support this human right with further efficiency. Keywords: Chronic pain, Human rights, Right to health. Pain relief as a way to legitimate human rights O alívio da dor como forma de legitimação dos direitos humanos RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS:A dor crônica é um fenôme-no complexo e multidimensional, com consequências para sua valorização nos diferentes segmentos sociais. Faz-se necessário compreender como os direitos humanos podem fornecer bases para as ações políticas de saúde no tema. O objetivo deste estudo foi estudar como tem sido tratada a legitimação do direito humano do acesso ao tratamento da dor crônica. CONTEÚDO: Utilizou-se revisão de literatura e análise documental. Devido ao modelo qualitativo empregado, optou-se por seguir as recomendações do Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research, disponível em http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ pubmed/24979285. A coleta de dados foi realizada pela internet e foram incluídas declarações, legislações e conferências relacionadas ao tema de direitos humanos e de saúde na dor crônica. Os dados obtidos foram confrontados com as políticas nacionais e internacionais de saúde, envolvendo dados obtidos da base de dados do Ministério da Saúde. Após a análise dos documentos de direitos humanos de promoção à saúde, identificou-se que a Declaração de Montreal de 2010, elaborada pela International Association for the Study of Pain, apresenta os fundamentos para ações políticas para o tratamento e controle da dor crônica. Apesar da partici...
