About Chronic Pain Syndrome in Chennai
Chronic pain syndrome is persistent pain lasting longer than three to six months that continues beyond the normal healing time of an injury or underlying condition, often becoming a disease process in its own right due to changes in how the nervous system processes pain signals. It can arise from an identifiable source such as arthritis, nerve damage, or cancer, or occur without a clear ongoing tissue injury. The condition frequently affects mood, sleep, and daily functioning, creating a cycle where pain, poor sleep, and psychological distress reinforce one another. It is one of the most common reasons patients seek long-term medical care.
