- University of Michigan Health researchers examined pain intensity, physical function and psychosocial factors in adults with systemic sclerosis.
- Higher pain intensity was associated with poorer physical function across the sample.
- Anxiety and negative affect strengthened the link between pain and physical limitations.
- The study was cross-sectional, so researchers cannot determine the direction of the relationships.
