Chronic pain syndromes

Chronic pain syndromes are conditions where pain persists for months or even years, often without a clear injury or cause. They involve complex changes in the nervous system, making the body more sensitive to pain signals. This can lead to ongoing discomfort that affects daily life, mood, and activity levels. Examples include fibromyalgia, nerve pain, and migraine. Managing these syndromes usually requires a combination of treatments, such as medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes, aiming to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
