Abstract
A Biopsychosocial Approach in Chronic Pain: A Brief Review
Abstract
Chronic pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide and is the most common reason people seek medical attention. Many factors contribute to the perpetuation of pain, such as biological, psychological, and social factors. The Biopsychosocial model, which is an interaction of these factors, can exacerbate patients' clinical appearance and outcomes with chronic pain. To regain function and increase the quality of life and wellbeing, people with chronic pain require a holistic approach that combines basic clinical care with biopsychosocial model management. Physicians’ education in pain and the collaboration between experts of multiple fields is also vital in order to treat patients in a more effective way.
