Chronic pain

Chronic pain is defined as any pain that persists for longer than three months. It usually results from an initial injury or illness, but can also develop without any apparent cause. Chronic pain can affect any part of the body and can range from mild, intermittent discomfort to severe, debilitating agony. It can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, causing them to miss work, social activities and disrupting their sleep. Treatment options for chronic pain may include a combination of medication, physical therapy and psychological interventions.
