Abstract

The multidimensional experience of chronic pain results in individualized perceptions and coping mechanisms that reflect the complex biopsychosocial aspects of a patient in chronic pain. Interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation utilizes the biopsychosocial model of care which approaches health as best understood in terms of a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors rather than purely in biological terms. Dedicated functional restoration programs often have a defined duration and schedule of daily activities. Interventional pain management techniques such as sympathetic blocks for complex regional pain syndrome may be appropriate to facilitate physical and occupational therapies. This chapter provides an introduction and overview of chronic pain rehabilitation.
