Chronic pain is a persistent or long-lasting pain that typically lasts for more than three to six months or beyond the usual healing time for an injury or illness. It can occur in various parts of the body and may range from mild to severe in intensity. Chronic pain can be a debilitating condition that significantly impacts a person's quality of life, daily functioning, emotional well-being, and social relationships.

There are several types of chronic pain, including:

Nociceptive pain: This type of pain arises from tissue damage or inflammation, such as arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, or post-surgical pain. It is usually described as aching or throbbing pain.

Neuropathic pain: Neuropathic pain occurs due to nerve damage or dysfunction, often resulting from conditions like diabetes, shingles, or spinal cord injuries. It is typically described as burning, shooting, or tingling pain.

Psychogenic pain: This type of pain is associated with psychological factors, such as anxiety, depression, or stress, rather than a specific injury or tissue damage. It may manifest in various ways, like headaches or muscle pain.

Mixed pain: Mixed pain is a combination of nociceptive and neuropathic pain, often seen in conditions like fibromyalgia or chronic low back pain.

The causes of chronic pain can be diverse, ranging from injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions to nerve damage, inflammation, or infections. In some cases, the cause of chronic pain may be unclear or challenging to identify.
