Objectives of this study To assess nutrient intake and eating behavior in a group of patients who werediagnosed with chronic pain and received long-term opioid analgesic therapy
Previous studies suggest a correlation between nutrient intake and chronic pain
However, the lack of clinical research regarding the dietary behavior of patients with chronic pain has been noticeable

Nutrient data14-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ)
-Type of foods they consumed-Quantity of those foods in relation to a medium sized portion
Eating behavior Eating behavior inventory (EBI)
-26-item self-report instrument developed to asses individual behaviors that have been implicated in weight-loss management
Nutrient calculations Nutrient data system for research software (2010)
-Generates multiple datasets from a batch of completed FFQ forms, including the daily nutrient intake dataset

Calorie intakeOur results suggest a similar percent of fat, protein, carbohydrate calorie intake
However, regarding type of fat intake, the participants reported greater than recommended saturated fat and trans fat consumption compared to guidelines
Clinical conclusion Counsel the patient on reducing saturated fat and transfat intake and to
bring more in line with guidelines
ConclusionsCo

sion
s
Clinical conclusion Counsel the patient on raising vegetable intake
Vegetable intakeParticipants consumed an approximate daily average of 2 servings of fruits and vegetables, respectively
This is well below the suggested daily guidelines of 4-5 servings in each category as proposed by the American Heart Association and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet
ConclusionsCo

Clinical conclusion Counsel the patient on lowering sodium intake
Sodium IntakeSodium intake was found to be significantly higher than the conservative suggestion of 2.3 g per day
ConclusionsCo

s
Caffeine IntakeAll but one participant reported a higher regular consumption of caffeine than the average consumption in Vermont
Clinical conclusionCounsel the patient to lower caffeine intake, since there is a possible relationship with poor sleep/insomnia
ConclusionsCo

Clinical conclusionCounsel patients with RA to increase their daily dosage via fish, nuts, and seeds
Omega-3-Fatty Acid intakeThe majority of participants consumed more than the recommended Cardiovascular protective dose of omega-3-fatty acids, but less than the anti-inflammatory dosing found to be effective in persons with RA
ConclusionsCo

Vitamin and Mineral intakeResults from the present study indicate suboptimal intake of micronutrients, especially vitamin D and Magnesium
Clinical conclusionCounsel the patient to increase/balance their intake of magnesium and vitamin D

Clinical Conclusion Physician may wish to direct patients to weight-management
Eating BehavioursOur results demonstrate a pattern in average EBI scores that is very similar to the scores for new patients entering a weight-loss management centre
Explanations-Participants have eating behaviours that promote weight gain-Participants have eating behaviours that do not promote weight loss
ConclusionsCo

Clinical Conclusion Consult patients with fibromyalgia or headache disorders that minimizing/ stopping this high intake may relieve their symptoms
Artificial Sweetener IntakeParticipants had high intake of artificial sweeteners such as aspartame
