Summary

We aim to identify the gut microbiome composition in adults with CWP. We will collect the stool sample of 120 healthy individuals and 120 Chronic Widespread Pain patients. We hypothesize that the intestinal microbiota is altered in CWP compared to healthy subjects without CWP.

Detailed description

We aim to identify the variations in gut microbiota composition in Hong Kong adults with CWP. We hypothesize that the intestinal microbiota is altered in CWP compared to healthy control. The design of the study is a pilot case-control study with adults with CWP (n=120) and healthy adults without any chronic pain (n=120). Participants will be recruited in 8 general-outpatient clinics in the New Territories East region of Hong Kong.
