Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a prevalent comorbidity in patients with chronic pain conditions. Emerging evidence suggests that the relationship between MetS and bidirectional. This interplay involves complex mechanisms, including proinflammatory mediators nociceptive modulation pain‐induced lifestyle changes affecting metabolic function. scoping review examines association pain. We conducted review, 28 studies. followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta‐Analyses Extension Scoping guidelines. included observational studies (cross‐sectional, case–control, cohort studies) from following databases: Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central, Database of Reviews, Scopus. identified on migraine ( n = 9), spinal 8), general 4), fibromyalgia 3), carpal tunnel 1), osteoarthritis shoulder neuropathic 1).

Chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is prevalent in older adults and confers significant risk for loss of independence low quality life. While obesity considered a factor developing chronic MSK pain, both high body mass index (BMI) have been associated with greater reporting adults. Measures composition that distinguish between fat lean may help to clarify the seemingly contradictory associations BMI this at-risk group.

Abstract Background Low peak alpha frequency (PAF) is an electroencephalography (EEG) outcome associated reliably with high acute pain sensitivity. However, existing research suggests that the relationship between PAF and chronic more variable. This variability could be attributable to groups typically being examined as homogenous populations, without consideration given potential diagnosis‐specific differences. Indeed, while emerging work has compared individuals healthy controls, no previous studies have differences in diagnoses or across subtypes. Methods To address this gap, we reanalysed a dataset of resting state EEG previously used demonstrate lack difference controls. In new analysis, separated patients by diagnosis before comparing three subgroups: widespread ( n = 30), back 38), controls 87). Results We replicate original finding significant but also find had significantly higher global average values than those people [ p 0.028, β 0.25 Hz] after controlling for age, sex, depression. Conclusions These novel findings reveal may not uniformly shifted from Future should account cautious exploring ‘chronic pain’ classifications during investigations PAF. Significance Our that, contrary hypotheses, inter‐individual reflect mechanisms rather general presence pain, therefore important implications future regarding individually‐tailored management strategies.
