<unk>  is the fear of pain due to movement. It is a term used in the context of rehabilitation medicine and physical therapy.<unk>  is a factor that hinders rehabilitation and actually prolongs disability and pain.<unk>  can be a factor in increased time to return to participation in pre-injury activities. It has been shown that higher levels of<unk>  are linked to a lack of re-entry into pre-injury activities. Research has been conducted to explore the level of association between<unk>  and pain in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). The evidence this study presents reveals that there is a connection between a greater degree of<unk>  and greater levels of pain intensity. The study has also found moderate evidence between a greater level of<unk>  and higher levels of pain severity and quality of life among CMP sufferers. These results suggest that clinicians should consider<unk>  as an important factor in their preliminary assessment of CMP patients
