CHRONIC PAIN

Abstract

 
Chronic pain is a long-lasting pain that persists for more than three months or 
continues beyond the normal healing period of an injury or illness. Unlike acute pain, 
which serves as a protective mechanism to alert the body to injury, chronic pain often 
remains even when the original cause has been resolved. It is considered one of the 
most common and complex health problems worldwide, affecting people of all ages 
and significantly impacting their quality of life.
