Abstract

Pain is a multidimensional experience involving physical, emotional, cognitive, and social factors. While pharmacological approaches remain central to pain relief, increasing evidence supports the integration of mental health interventions in managing both acute and chronic pain. Psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and trauma are known to amplify pain perception and interfere with recovery. Interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), biofeedback, and hypnosis have shown considerable promise in reducing pain intensity, improving coping strategies, and enhancing quality of life. This article explores the rationale, types, and clinical effectiveness of various mental health strategies as adjuncts in pain management, emphasizing their role in holistic and patient-centered care.
