Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand

Summary

In France, the Direction of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics, in their 2015 report on "Chronic pain: the state of health of the population in France - Indicators associated with the Public health ", shows that 34.6% of the working population declare themselves to be facing psycho-social risks, including chronic pain disorders. The main survey conducted in France on chronic pain showed that 32% of French people expressed daily pain for more than 3 months, with 20% reporting chronic pain of moderate or severe intensity. According to a report by the HAS in 2009, about 30% of patients consulting for pain in pain center (CETD) are working and 20% are on sick leave or work-related accidents. Chronic pain would also be responsible in France for the limitation of professional activities in 6% of 25-64 year olds, 15% job losses, 12% changes in work responsibilities, 12% changes in employment and 18 % of associated depressions. In addition, 40% of chronic pain patients experienced a direct impact at work: loss, change in responsibilities and activity. Combined with the difficulty of understanding and thus treating chronic pain, these data demonstrate the challenge faced by occupational health services in their preventive, curative and palliative approach to chronic pathologies. Innovation for any new prevention and therapy for chronic pain then becomes necessary. The main objective of this first study will be the evaluation of the prevalence of pain disorders among the employees of French furniture shop. .
