Objective: To estimate the frequency of musculoskeletal pain in people who perform teleworking in Lima between the months of April to August 2020. Material and methods: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study, the sample was 501 people who performed teleworking in Lima among the months of April to August 2020, a virtual questionnaire was used as the data collection method that contained questions on sociodemographic characteristics and the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire (CNE). Results: 99% of the participants presented musculoskeletal pain in different anatomical regions with a predominance in neck (90%), lower back (88%) and upper back (82%). Regarding dwell time, a predominance of permanence for months was found in neck (64%), lower back (61%) and upper back (62%) regions; regarding the period of duration per episode, those whose duration was since 1 to 24 hours predominated in lower back (49%) and less than 1 hour predominated in shoulder (45%). Conclusion: There is a high frequency of MSP in people who telework in Lima among the months of April to August 2020; however, it is necessary to carry out more studies considering another design and variables, in addition to reinforce health promotion.
