Abstract Chronic pain is a complex condition requiring multidisciplinary approaches for effective management. This study evaluated the effectiveness of combining occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and laboratory monitoring in managing chronic musculoskeletal pain in a tertiary hospital setting. A cohort of 120 patients received twice-weekly sessions of occupational and physiotherapy for 8 weeks, with pain intensity (VAS), functional status (SF-36), and inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR) assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3 and 6 months follow-up. Results showed significant reductions in pain intensity (mean VAS from 7.8 to 3.5) and improvements in physical functioning (mean SF-36 from 45 to 78). Inflammatory markers also decreased, with CRP levels reducing from 15.2 mg/L to 6.2 mg/L and ESR from 40 mm/hr to 20 mm/hr. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of a combined rehabilitation approach in reducing pain, improving function, and lowering inflammation in chronic pain patients. This multidisciplinary model provides a comprehensive strategy for chronic pain management.
