Pain: A Biopsychosocial Journey Of Complexity
Received Date: May 01, 2025 / Published Date: May 29, 2026
Abstract
Pain perception is a complex interplay of sensory, affective, neuroinflammatory, and psychological factors, underscoring a biopsychosocial model. Central sensitization is a key mechanism transitioning acute to chronic pain. Psychological interventions prove effective in management. Emerging research explores the gut microbiome’s role, epigenetic mechanisms, and neural network alterations in pain processing. Sex differences and peripheral sensitization mechanisms are crucial for therapeutic development. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia and the bidirectional relationship between sleep and pain are significant considerations for effective pain management
