Characteristics of extinction and its applications in operant and cognitive behavioural treatment as well as its combination with pharmacological agents will be discussed. Operant and cognitive behavioural treatments were shown effective in treating chronic pain. Combinations with pharmacological agents have to be examined in future research.
