Chronic Pain Understood
According to the 2019 National Health Interview Survey, 50.2 million adults (20.5%) reported experiencing pain most days or every day.
Chronic pain is often approached as a biomedical, rather than a biopsychosocial, phenomenon. As a result, psychological factors associated with initiation, prolongation, and/or exacerbation of pain remain underappreciated and under addressed.
A New Protocol
Connecticut Worker’s Compensation Commission has adopted a protocol for the Psychological Evaluation and Treatment of Chronic Pain in injured Connecticut workers.
The Connecticut Psychological Association has undertaken a major initiative to support the effective implementation of this protocol.
Trained Providers
This protocol significantly increase the efficacy of chronic pain care in Connecticut while enhancing the effectiveness and public awareness of our profession’s effort.
