Current/Future Directions
Take Home Messages
All pain is real and complex. Biological, psychological, social, spiritual, … factors
play a role in pain processing Treating pain involves retraining the brain and
nervous system…mind-body approaches are key! Imagery and neuromodulatory-based treatments
(mindfulness, hypnosis) may offer added relief
