Chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) is common among military veterans, but the true prevalence remains uncertain. A prior review estimated the prevalence of CNCP among veterans to range from 25% to 72%; however, the authors did not explore factors associated with variability between studies. Furthermore, the search for this review was conducted up to 2013 and is therefore in need of updating. Consequently, we will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the prevalence of CNCP among veterans. |
