Data on sociodemographic characteristics, working conditions, and pain were collected, along with the evaluation of coronaphobia using the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) and MSP using the Nordic Questionnaire of Osteomuscular Symptoms (NMQ).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most participants were female (78%), with an average age of 32.8 (SD\u2009=\u200910.7 years). During the pandemic, 71% reported some osteomuscular symptoms, and of these, 64% developed new symptoms of pain during the pandemic, with a higher incidence in the lower back and neck. Participants who began home-office work presented a higher incidence of pain, and among them, 53% reported that their furniture was not suitable for working at home. Most had little fear of COVID-19, but moderate levels of coronaphobia increased the likelihood of MSP (PR\u2009=\u20091.74; 95% CI). Coronaphobia and MSP were significantly associated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of MSP increased after the pandemic, especially among those who worked from home, primarily affecting the lumbar and cervical regions.
