Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Chronic pain (CP) significantly impacts individuals, families, and communities.
  • Research on CP prevalence and management in Iran is limited.
  • Understanding CP in urban Iranian populations is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of chronic pain in an urban Iranian population.
  • To identify common treatments for chronic pain.
  • To assess patient satisfaction with existing chronic pain treatments.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 1,050 adults in Shiraz, Iran.
  • Utilized the international Chronic Pain questionnaire (28 items).
  • Evaluated CP prevalence, treatment modalities (pharmacological and non-pharmacological), and patient satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • 6.95% of participants reported chronic pain lasting over six months.
  • 54% of individuals with CP used analgesics (NSAIDs, narcotics).
  • 37% used complementary therapies like traditional medicine and acupuncture; satisfaction was acceptable.

Conclusions:

  • Chronic pain is a significant public health issue in Shiraz.
  • CP is associated with negative health and psychosocial outcomes.
  • Specialized health programs are recommended for CP prevention and management in urban settings.
