Pain and Metabolic Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients Suffering From Chronic Pain
Obesity is considered as the epidemic of the century. Central obesity is one of the
metabolic syndrome's features. It has been proven that obesity can cause back pain and
headaches; thus, there might be a link between chronic pain and the syndrome.
The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients
suffering from chronic pain.
All patients will answer a questionnaire, their hip circumference will be measured, and
their BMI will be calculated (weight/(height)2 ).
The patients' blood pressure will be measured. The patients will be asked to bring their
blood tests (lipids and glucose).
