Researchers at the Miriam Hospital Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center are seeking men and women who have persistent pain. We are conducting a new study to evaluate how pain, weight, and stress are related and change over time. You may be eligible if you are 18 years of age or older, consider yourself to be overweight or have been told by a medical professional that you are overweight (BMI ≥30kg/m2), and have pain more days than not over the past month or a chronic pain condition.
This is a 12-week research study. All participants will complete an 8-day assessment at the start of the study and repeat this assessment at 12 weeks. During this time, participants will complete physical measurements, complete a one-time survey online, wear an activity monitor on their wrist to monitor their activity and will be asked to answer random phone prompts on their smartphone about their pain, eating, and stress.
