Mullersdorf, M. (2002). Needs and problems related to occupational therapy as perceived by swedes with long-term pain. Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy, 9, 79-90.
The purpose of the study was to discover the perceived needs of the patients and number of visits to explore the differences and pain related characteristics.

Those who had higher needs for therapy for more difficultly completing ADLs reported higher scores for depressive symptoms.
