MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
multimodal, chronic pain, pain managementAbstract
The current International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as ‘‘an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage’’.
This definition recognizes the interplay between the objective, physiological sensory aspects of pain and its subjective, emotional, and psychological components.The response to pain can be highly variable among different individuals as well as in the same person at different times. There are differences related to both gender and age in pain perception, experiences, and coping strategies.
