The Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients Suffering From Chronic Pain
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).
