This study aimed to describe the prevalence of isolated neck\/shoulder pain and the co\u2010occurrence of neck\/shoulder pain with other musculoskeletal pain, headache and depressive symptoms in Norwegian adolescents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is a cross\u2010sectional study using data from the Norwegian Ungdata survey (2017\u20132019). Adolescents from almost all municipalities in Norway answered a comprehensive questionnaire, including physical complaints. We investigated the prevalence of self\u2010reported neck\/shoulder pain in isolation and neck\/shoulder pain in combination with other musculoskeletal pain, headache and depressive symptoms. The results were presented with per cent and stratified by school level and sex.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 253,968 adolescents (50% girls) participated in the study, of which 56.5% were from lower secondary school. The total prevalence of neck\/shoulder pain was 24%, but only 5% reported isolated neck\/shoulder pain. Among students reporting neck\/shoulder pain, half of them also reported other musculoskeletal pain, and 50% of the boys and 70% of the girls reported co\u2010occurring headache. Depressive symptoms were reported in 28% of the boys and 45% of the girls with neck\/shoulder pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Neck\/shoulder pain in adolescents is seldom isolated, but seems to co\u2010occur with headache, other musculoskeletal pain and depressive symptoms. Researchers and clinicians should keep a broader health perspective in mind when approaching adolescents with neck\/shoulder pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Significance<\/jats:title><jats:p>One in five adolescents reported neck\/shoulder pain in this large population\u2010based study of Norwegian adolescents. A majority of adolescents reported neck\/shoulder pain in co\u2010occurrence with other musculoskeletal pain, headache and depression. Researchers and clinicians should assess these comorbidities when assessing adolescents with neck\/shoulder pain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejp.1785","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,28]],"date-time":"2021-04-28T17:42:16Z","timestamp":1619631736000},"page":"1751-1759","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Neck and shoulder pain in adolescents seldom occur alone: Results from the Norwegian Ungdata Survey"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0473-002X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henriette","family":"Jahre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy Oslo Metropolitan University Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8243-1143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margreth","family":"Grotle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy Oslo Metropolitan University Oslo Norway"},{"name":"Research and communication unit for musculoskeletal health (FORMI) Clinic for Surgery and Neurology Oslo University Hospital Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9036-0709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaja","family":"Smedbr\u00e5ten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy Oslo Metropolitan University Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5911-4876","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"K\u00e5re R\u00f8nn","family":"Richardsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy Oslo Metropolitan University Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anders","family":"Bakken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Social Research (NOVA) Oslo Metropolitan University Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0547-9781","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Britt Elin","family":"\u00d8iestad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy Oslo Metropolitan University Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494815604764"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0333102414535110"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e3181a401df"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","volume-title":"Ungdata 2019.
