Chronic Pain

Long-term physical pain that persists beyond the typical healing time, often affecting mental health and daily functioning.

Key information you should know

  • Chronic pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, including injury, illness, or unknown factors.
  • It can lead to emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and decreased quality of life.
  • Treatment focuses on pain management, emotional support, and building coping strategies to improve overall well-being.
  • Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for months or even years, often without a clear underlying cause. It can result from conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or injury, but in some cases, the cause is not immediately identifiable. Chronic pain affects not only physical health but also emotional well-being, leading to issues like sleep disturbances, stress, and difficulty participating in daily activities. Over time, this can contribute to feelings of frustration, anxiety, or depression.

    herapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-based approaches can help individuals manage pain, reduce emotional distress, and develop coping strategies for living with chronic pain.
