Chronic Pain

Psychological Assessment and Treatment

  • Chapter

Abstract

Pain is a natural response to a mechanical, thermal, or chemical stimulus that activates specific structures called nociceptors found in the skin, the viscera, and the deep somatic tissues (Crue, 1983). Pain stimuli travel from nociceptors across nerve fibers to the spinal cord and are processed in the central nervous system as the experience of pain. In most cases, the stimulus that activates the nociceptors is terminated and the pain goes away after a short period of time. Such pain can be labeled acute pain, which is defined as pain of recent onset, in which biological or tissue damage is usually dominant. In the absence of a residual structural defect or a systemic disease, acute pain usually subsides in less than 30 days and almost always in six months (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1986).
