Loneliness, social isolation, and pain following the COVID-19 outbreak: data from a nationwide internet survey in Japan

Abstract The aim of cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between loneliness, increased social isolation, and pain following the COVID-19 outbreak. A total of 25,482 participants, aged 15–79 years, were assessed using an internet survey; the University of California, Los Angeles L...
