Managing chronic pain presents several challenges:
- Subjectivity: Pain is a subjective experience, making it difficult to measure objectively. - Complexity: Chronic pain often involves multiple underlying causes, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. - Comorbidities: Patients with chronic pain frequently have other medical conditions, complicating treatment plans. - Opioid Crisis: The risk of addiction and dependence makes the use of opioids a contentious issue.
