*3.5. Changes in Pain-Coping Strategies*

More than half the sample reported having experienced changes in their way of coping with pain (54.5%). Table 4 displays the proportion of these people who incorporated, refrained from using, or neither incorporated nor dismissed each of the proposed coping strategies. As can be seen in Table 4, a substantial proportion of the participants incorporated new coping strategies during lockdown, with resting (54.5%), stretching (48.2%) and increase in medication intake (46.7%) being the most usually incorporated.
