    GlossaryChronic Pain

    ...condition where pain persists for over three months

    Chronic pain, also known as persistent pain, is pain that lasts for more than three months or beyond the normal healing time of an injury. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning signal of injury, chronic pain can persist even after the initial cause has been treated or resolved, often affecting a person's quality of life and mental health. It can result from conditions like arthritis, nerve damage, or fibromyalgia, and may require a multidisciplinary approach for effective management.
