All Fatigue is not Created Equal: The Association of Fatigue and its Subtypes on Pain Interference in Orofacial Pain

摘要

ObjectivesFatigue is known to be a pathway through which depression, psychological distress, pain intensity, and sleep disturbance influence pain interference, but the independent effects of fatigue on pain interference after controlling for these variables remains unknown. Additionally, no study to date has tested whether fatigue subtypes of general fatigue, mental fatigue, emotional fatigue, physical fatigue, or vigor differentially predict pain interference.
