Although acute pain can be a useful alert to a disease or other problem and usually resolves when the cause has been remedied it is crucial that treatment is quick and effective to avoid reduced quality of life. Chronic pain in contrast presents an enduring challenge be it related to injury that has healed due to an unresolved cause such as arthritis or cancer or in some cases even when there is no evidence of previous injury or damage to the body. Chronic pain increases in prevalence with age and as populations become increasingly aged effective pain management strategies become highly important. Also important is the problem of acute pain transitioning to chronic painit is estimated that 85 of the general population will experience low back pain at some point in their lives and while for most this pain will ease within 46 weeks it is estimated that in up to 30 of these cases pain will persist for a year or more.Pain Management presents findings analysis and commentary on the battle with acute and chronic pain.
