Blood sugar and chronic low back pain
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood sugar levels relate to chronic low back pain. It involves two groups: people with chronic low back pain and healthy volunteers. The goal is to understand if blood sugar problems are linked to back pain.
