Chronic pain is defined as a sudden or slow onset of mild to severe pain. It can be constant or recurring without an anticipated or predictable end and usually lasts longer than 6 months.
Because the etiology may not be apparent, chronic pain is considered to be a disease entity in and of itself.
Common disease conditions associated with chronic pain include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, headache, backache, postherpatic neuralgia, cancer pain, trigeminal neuralgia, chronic pancreatitis, chronic renal failure, chronic pulmonary disease, phantom pain following amputation of a limb, and psychogenic pain that include both a physiological basis and emotional elements, such as repeated episodes of severe stress.
Additional disease conditions associated with chronic pain include nonmalignant progressive diseases such as AIDS, hemophelia, and connective tissue diseases, painful polyneuropathy, osteoporosis, and pelvic pain of unknown etiology.
Chronic pain syndrome is an abnormal condition in which pain is no longer a symptom of discreet tissues injury but in which pain and pain behavior become the primary disease and has specific characteristics.
Chronic pain syndrome is distinct from chronically or intermittently painful disease state in which the patient experiences pain but manifest function and behavior appropriate to the degree of tissue injury.
In chronic pain syndrome, subjective and behavioral of pain persist beyond objective evidence of tissue injury. Chronically painful conditions can lead to chronic pain syndrome but not all persons with chronically painful conditions manifest chronic pain behavior and disability.
