People react differently to pain? Perhaps you can identify with these adjectives, - grouchy, sad, irritable,angry, mad, discouraged, cranky, unsociable, stiff, listless and hurtful.
What is commonly referred as chronic pain? They include headaches, low back pain, cancer pain, arthritic pain, neurogenic pain (peripheral or central nervous system pain)and psychogenic pain
Treatment (excluding medication therapy)
Acupuncture, local electrical stimulation,brain stimulation, psychotherapy, relaxation, biofeedback and behavior modification are some.
What is the prognosis?
According to NINDS, scientists state that advances in neuroscience will lead to better treatment for Chronic Pain. In my humble opinion, I have already seen positive results of some non-invasive therapies for chronic pain.(NINDS-National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke)
Research
NINDS have 50 research studies or clinical trials at present, some are already in progress while others are awaiting funding, etc.
Recent research has shown that people with chronic pain had lower than normal Endorphins (the body's build-in pain-killer)in their spinal fluid. When an Electrical Impulse or Acupuncture stimulates the nerve endings, the Endorphin system is activated and relieves the pain.
