Psychological advances in chronic pain: A concise selective review of research from 2010

McCracken, Lance M.; Thompson, Miles

Abstract

The largest number of psychological studies categorized for this review focused on psychological factors in relation to opioid use. These studies include ones to identify risk factors for aberrant drug behavior. This result seems to reflect that the dominant approach to chronic pain remains a pharmacological one. At the same time treatment from within a broadly cognitive behavioral approach seems to have reached a level of relative maturity with questions frequently being addressed with meta-analysis. Otherwise, there are developing and promising trends, such as in new treatment models and uses of information technology. © 2011 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
