'''Chronic pain''' is described by the [[National Institutes of Health]] as follows: "Chronic pain persists. Pain signals keep firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, even years."<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/All-Disorders/Chronic-Pain-Information-Page | title = Chronic Pain Information Page|website = [[National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke]]|access-date=2018-08-15}}</ref> [[Myalgic encephalomyelitis]]/[[chronic fatigue syndrome]] ([[ME/CFS]]) patients can experience chronic pain but it is the primary symptom of [[fibromyalgia]]. [[systemic lupus erythematosus|Lupus]], [[arthritis]], [[multiple sclerosis]], [[osteoarthritis]], [[shingles]], and [[neuropathy]] are also conditions that have chronic pain. ===Types of pain === According to location: *[[Arthralgia]] - joint pain *[[Myalgia]] - muscle pain *[[Nerve pain|Neuropathic pain]] (neuralgia) - nerve pain *[[Headache]] and [[migraine]] *[[Abdominal pain]] Abnormal pain processing: *[[Allodynia]] - normal sensations are painful, such as clothes touching the skin *[[Hyperalgesia]] - increased pain sensitivity (decreased pain tolerance) *[[Analgesia]] - absence of normal pain sensations ==Prevalence== ==Symptom recognition== *In the [[Canadian Consensus Criteria]], pain is a required symptom for diagnosis. It requires that "there is a significant degree of [[myalgia]]. Pain can be experienced in the muscles, and/or joints, and is often widespread and migratory in nature. Often there are significant [[headache]]s of new type, pattern or severity."<ref>[http://sacfs.asn.au/download/consensus_overview_me_cfs.pdf ''A Clinical Case Definition and Guidelines for Medical Practitioners: An Overview of the Canadian Consensus Document''] Pg 8. 2005.</ref> ==Notable studies== * 2019, Core outcome measures for chronic pain clinical trials: IMMPACT recommendations<ref name="PainSociety2019">{{Cite journal | last = Dworkin | first =RH | last2 = Turk | first2 = DC | first3 = JT | last3 =Farrar | last4 = Haythornthwaite | first4 = JA | last5 = Jensen | first5 = MP | last6 = Katz | first6 = NP | last7 = Kerns | first7 = RD | last8 = Stucki | first8 = G | last9 = Allen | first9 = RR | last10 = Bellamy | first10 = N | last11 = Carr | first11 = DB| title = Core outcome measures for chronic pain clinical trials: IMMPACT recommendations|journal =PAIN | date = Jan 1, 2005 | volume = 113 | issue = 1 | pages = 9β19 | url = https://www.britishpainsociety.org/static/uploads/resources/files/Outcome_Measures_January_2019.pdf}}</ref > [https://www.britishpainsociety.org/static/uploads/resources/files/Outcome_Measures_January_2019.pdf (Full text)] *2018, [https://www.sleep-journal.com/article/S1389-9457(18)30397-6/abstract Association of sleep disorders, chronic pain, and fatigue with survival in patients with chronic kidney disease: A meta-analysis of clinical trials]<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Yang|first = Xiu Hong | last2 = Zhang | first2 = Bao Long | last3 = Gu | first3 = Yan Hong | last4 = Zhan | first4 = Xiao Li | last5 = Guo | first5 = Li Li | last6 = Jin | first6 = Hui Min | date = 2018 | title = Association of sleep disorders, chronic pain, and fatigue with survival in patients with chronic kidney disease: a meta-analysis of clinical trials |url =https://www.sleep-journal.com/article/S1389-9457(18)30397-6/abstract | journal = Sleep Medicine|language=English | volume = 51 | pages = 59β65|doi=10.1016/j.sleep.2018.06.020|issn=1389-9457|via=}}</ref> ==Possible causes== ==Potential treatments== {{See also|Analgesics}} ==Learn more== *2016, [http://selfhacked.com/2016/03/28/23-ways-to-combat-pain-naturally-by-increasing-your-opioids/ 23 Ways to Combat Pain Naturally By Increasing Your Opioids]<ref>{{Cite news |url =http://selfhacked.com/2016/03/28/23-ways-to-combat-pain-naturally-by-increasing-your-opioids/ | title = 23 Ways to Combat Pain Naturally By Increasing Your Opioids - Selfhacked | date = 2016-03-28|work=Selfhacked|access-date=2018-08-15|language=en-US}}</ref> ==See also== * [[Analgesics|Pain relief (analgesics)]] * [[Lady Gaga]] ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Signs and symptoms]] [[Category:Pain signs and symptoms]]
