| Abstract: | Background The increasing number of patients with chronic pain in Japan has become a major issue in terms of the patient's quality of
life, medical costs, and related social problems. Pain is a multi-dimensional experience with physiological, affective, cognitive,
behavioral and social components, and recommended to be managed via a combination of bio-psycho-social aspects. However, a
biomedical approach is still the dominant method of pain treatment in Japan. The current study aimed to evaluate comprehensive
psychological functions and processes in Japanese chronic pain patients. |
