Weight management and musculoskeletal pain: Does sleep mediate the connection?

Abstract

In a recent issue of the European Journal of Pain, Dunlevy et al. (2019) presented the results of a retrospective study using data from a weight management program. We would like to congratulate the authors on this important investigation which showed that weight loss of ≥5% reduced musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, specifically knee pain and low back pain, in patients with severe obesity.
