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 under-appreciated and under-addressed.
A New Protocol
Connecticut’s Workers‘ Compensation Commission (WCC) has adopted a Psychological Pain Assessment and Treatment Protocol (PPATP; pages 2-7, https://portal.ct.gov/-/
