Suffer From Chronic Pain
Each year tens of millions of Americans suffer from persistent pain known as chronic pain. Individuals with
chronic pain are less able to function in daily life than those who do not suffer from chronic pain.
Chronic pain patients suffer from poor sleep quality and depressed mood rather than pain intensity, duration,
or anxiety. Clinical Implications Chronic pain patients suffer from poorer quality of sleep than do healthy
control subjects. Many people suffer chronic pain in the absence of any past injury or evidence of illness.
Although more than one in five Americans live with chronic pain, women are more likely to suffer from
chronic pain conditions than men. If you or a family member suffer from chronic pain, you know that the
search for relief is an ongoing process. But some people suffer chronic pain in absence of any past injury or
evidence of body damage. At least 25 percent of Americans suffer from back pain. One fourth of these
individuals, back pain is chronic and unremitting.
Experience
If you're grappling with chronic pain, one of the earliest and most wrenching emotions you experience is a
deep sense of loss. In fact, a number of people with SCI experience chronic pain in areas that otherwise have
no sensation. Lascelles' experience, owners are usually more concerned about pain from surgery than pain
associated with chronic conditions. The path to chronicity of pain is characterised by failed attempts to
adjust and cope with an uncontrollable, frightening, and adverse experience.

RSD or RSDS is a neurological problem and one of the symptoms is constant chronic burning pain. It is
now appreciated that the phenomenon of wind-up is crucial to understanding the problem of chronic pain.
Chronic pain in children is an important problem and more action is urgently required to overcome the
embarrassing lack of data on childhood pain. Some believe that many factors work together to produce
chronic pain, rather than a single disease or medical problem. The longer pain goes on the more susceptible
it is to other influences and developing into a problem.
Source From Injury
Some people develop chronic pain out of the blue, with no injury or illness to trigger pain signals. Once
chronic pain that has been caused by an injury or surgery is managed, patient recovery may be faster. an
injury, and chronic pain with no identifiable pain generator (e.g. The injury transformed her into one of
millions of Americans tormented by chronic pain. In stark contrast to acute pain, persists beyond the amount
of time that is normal for an injury to heal. In some cases this may stem from an injury incurred during an
accident or an assault.
Stress
Managing stress and managing chronic pain go hand in hand. Stress Ask most chronic pain patients what
their most significant source of stress is, and they will usually tell you that it is pain. Physical,
psychological, and emotional stress may worsen chronic pain. Predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder
symptom severity level in chronic low back pain patients.
Prevalence
Statistical analysis The prevalence of recent pain, chronic pain, and severely disabling chronic pain were
summarised as percentages of respondents with 95% confidence intervals. Croft et al [11] found the
prevalence of chronic pain to be slightly lower in postal survey non-responders. A small number of previous
studies have sought to collect data on the prevalence of chronic pain from non-responders. The prevalence
of severely disabling chronic pain in this sample was 3.0%.
Depression
This pattern has to be changed if depression, stress, and chronic pain itself are to be conquered. This is
because the consequences of chronic pain and the symptoms of depression look very similar. Depression
Persons with a chronic pain problem often show decreases in meaningful and enjoyable activities.
Depression is often associated with chronic pain and may need to be treated as a separate, but related,
condition. Living with chronic pain can lead to loss of appetite, depression, and exhaustion. The
consequences of unrelieved chronic pain in this population, similar to others, include depression, decreased
socialization and sleep disturbance. Influence of chronic pain on mood and psychosocial function, utilizing

age-specific scales (e.g., geriatric depression scale). Nelson and Diane...and depression in patients with
chronic pain was investigated. Counselling may also be of some help in addressing the depression which so
often accompanies chronic pain or illness. Levels of anxiety, depression and self-rated health were described
for respondents with severely disabling chronic pain and contrasted with respondents reporting no pain.
Psychological therapy for anxiety and depression is helpful in managing the emotional consequences of
chronic pain. This is not the case and if somebody has chronic pain and depression, 'you have to treat both',
he says. Our research provides further evidence that chronic pain and depression are quite independent", Dr
Clauw said. There are many factors that affect the development of chronic pain such as age, level of
disability, depression, or the presence of nerve damage. Schatzberg suspects that the presence of chronic
pain should be added to this list as a symptom for assessing depression.
