Central sensitization inventory mediates the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease activity and worse musculoskeletal pain experiences.

Authors

Abstract

Musculoskeletal conditions are well documented in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, whether IBD activity influences musculoskeletal pain experiences is uncertain. Central sensitization, has been proposed in IBD patients suffering from persistent pain. Identification of central sensitization symptomology using the central sensitisation inventory (CSI) has been reported in many pain-related disorders. Aims of this study were to explore predictive relationships between IBD activity and musculoskeletal pain experiences (severity/interference), and the mediating effects of CSI.
