    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pain Medicine
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Chronic pain is gaining recognition as a standalone condition, separate from its initial cause.
    • Enhanced understanding of central pain modulation mechanisms and contributing factors is emerging.
    • The overlap between chronic pain and depression warrants attention, though they are distinct entities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide primary physicians with treatment recommendations for chronic pain.
    • To empower non-specialists to manage chronic pain without necessitating referral to a pain center.
    • To outline an interdisciplinary and multimodal approach to chronic pain management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current understanding of chronic pain mechanisms.
    • Synthesis of evidence supporting interdisciplinary and multimodal treatment strategies.
