OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the impact of increased working from home on musculoskeletal pain before and after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
METHODS: In an online survey (September 2023-April 2024), pain was rated on a numeric rating scale. The impact of working from home and covariates on new pain onset and exacerbation was modeled using logistic regression analyses.
RESULTS: Of 1064 participating computer workers, 968 were working from home. Working from home compared to office-only work showed a trend of increasing pain. Longer remote working hours and poorer workstation setups also increased the risks for pain (eg, new neck or upper back pain; odds ratio 2.02, 95% confidence interval 1.08-3.76).
CONCLUSIONS: Preventing musculoskeletal pain should involve improving remote workstation ergonomics, promoting healthy lifestyles, participation in regular occupational health screenings, and supporting employees with anxiety or depression symptoms.
