Abstract

Chronic pain is a persistent and debilitating condition affecting millions worldwide. Unlike acute pain, chronic pain extends beyond the typical healing period and often requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. Diagnosis involves comprehensive patient history, advanced imaging, biomarker analysis, and psychological assessments. Treatment strategies integrate pharmacological options such as non-opioid medications, neuropathic pain therapies, and, in severe cases, limited opioid use. Interventional techniques, including nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation, and regenerative medicine, offer additional relief. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as physical therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices, play a crucial role in holistic pain management. Emerging advancements in personalized medicine, AI-driven treatment optimization, and novel analgesics are shaping the future of chronic pain care. This article explores modern diagnostic methods and treatment options aimed at improving patient outcomes and enhancing quality of life.
