Martinez-Calderon J, et al. - Here researchers performed a systematic review to critically appraise the role of self-efficacy on the prognosis of chronic musculoskeletal pain. In this work, higher SE levels seemed associated with greater physical functioning, physical activity participation, health status, work status, satisfaction with the performance, efficacy beliefs, and lower pain intensity, disability, disease activity, depressive symptoms, presence of tender points, fatigue and presenteeism. Despite the low quality of evidence of included studies, they recommend encouraging clinicians to an early identification of people with chronic musculoskeletal pain who present low self-efficacy levels prior to prescribe any therapy. It could provide help to clinicians in their clinical decision-making and timely and specific consultations with -or referral to- other health care providers.
