Abstract

Introduction: In spite of many studies conducted on the subject of pain and its effects on quality of life, there is not still any complete information about factors involving pain intensity and duration and how those can influent the patient’s life. The aim of the current study was determining the role of intensity and duration of pain on quality of life in patients with chronic pain. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with participation of the patients referring to the pain centers in Tehran;#39s hospitals in 2012-2013. Patients (n=300) were selected by using multi-stage random sampling technique. For determining pain intensity, a 0–10 numeric rating scale was used and the patients were asked for the duration of pain. The questionnaire of quality of life,designed by the World Health Organization, was used to measure quality of life. Further, Pearson;#39s correlation coefficient and regression tests were used to analyze the data by using SPSS version 19. Results: These findings showed that the pain intensity and duration has significant correlation with the quality of life and its different dimensions (P
