Depressive symptoms impair chronic pain treatment and are associated with a worse chronic pain prognosis (Li, 2015). The increasing and concomitant prevalence of depression and chronic pain represents a burden for the primary care systems. Providing effective and appropriate primary care interventions to address this comorbidity is indeed needed, considering that chronic pain and depression lead to great disability. Taking into account that reducing disability is part of the second strategic objective of the Health Goals of the Decade 2011-2020 for Chile, the design and dissemination of therapeutic strategies aimed at the treatment of these problems is a priority in this country.
