GREMPAL
Primary Care Research Group in Common Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System
The group resulted from the initiative of general practitioners from the primary care region Barcelona Litoral and Dreta de l'Eixample, in collaboration with the Bone and Joint Pathophysiology Research Unit of the IMIM-Parc de Salut Mar. From 2009 the group collaborates with the Epidemiology Unit of the Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Oxford. The group aims to study the risk factors of the most common musculoskeletal disorders (osteoporosis and osteoarthritis) from a primary care perspective and the effectiveness of the treatments currently available.
