This article is a systematic review protocol that will evaluate the incidence and distribution sites of musculoskeletal pain in higher education teachers. It will be a systematic bibliographic review study conducted according to the Cochrane methodology. Observational studies will be included, following the "PECO" methodology described below: Population: Teachers working in higher education and/or technical education. Exposure: Presence of musculoskeletal pain. Comparator: No musculoskeletal pain. Outcomes: incidence of musculoskeletal pain and Sites/regions of incidence of musculoskeletal pain. Observational studies that report metrics associated with the site of musculoskeletal pain in
teachers working in Brazilian higher education will be included. The exclusion criteria will be: studies conducted with elementary and/or primary school teachers and conducted in other countries. The electronic databases Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), MEDLINE, IBECS, LIPECS, Sec. Munic. Saúde SP and Coleciona SUS on the Virtual Health Library, PEDro and Scielo websites until February 2025. Health Sciences descriptors (DECs) such as “musculoskeletal pain” and “teachers” will be used. It is expected that this study can help teachers who face work overload, long teaching hours and repetitive physical activities.
