Chronic Pain Syndromes
Chronic pain syndromes refer to persistent pain conditions that last for more than three months, often affecting daily activities and quality of life. These syndromes can arise from various causes, including injury, illness, or underlying medical conditions. Common examples include fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and arthritis.
Management of chronic pain syndromes typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medication, physical therapy, and psychological support. Treatment aims to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance overall well-being. Understanding the nature of these syndromes is crucial for effective management and support for those affected.
