Abstract

Background: Annually, 20% of US adults will suffer chronic pain(CP) for more than six months, 8% to a degree that limits their life and work activities. CP results from a combination of biological, psychological and social factors and requires a multifactorial approach to manage. The evaluation and management of CP syndromes follows the biopsychosocial approach, attempting to identify the cause and type of pain syndrome. Treatment begins with patient education, which includes setting patient expectations and initiating non-pharmacological interventions.
