The Biopsychosocial Model of Chronic Pain Management

The Biopsychosocial Model of Chronic Pain Management: Discuss the multidimensional nature of chronic pain and the biopsychosocial factors contributing to its onset, persistence, and disability. Analyze the interplay between biological mechanisms (e.g., nociception, central sensitization), psychological factors (e.g., catastrophizing, fear-avoidance), and social factors (e.g., social support, disability beliefs) in the experience and management of chronic pain. Explore evidence-based approaches to chronic pain management, including interdisciplinary pain management programs, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and mindfulness-based therapies.
