Abstract
Chronic pain is a long-term medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning sign for injury, chronic pain persists for months or years and often lacks a clear cause. It negatively affects physical function, emotional well-being, and social life. This paper explores the nature of chronic pain, its causes, symptoms, and its impact on everyday life. It also highlights effective treatment methods, including lifestyle changes, physical therapy, stress management, and medical support.
