Chronic pain is a major health problem globally. It is often defined by the duration of
pain, which may take weeks, months or even years to persist. The original cause of
this pain may be due to an injury or an infection. There may be a continuing cause
of pain, as it would be in the case of arthritis or cancer. There are other cases in
which the cause is not clear. In addition, there is a possibility that it will be worsened
due to environmental and psychological factors. It is a disease that generates high
economic costs and quality of life.
The prevalence of this disease is 31%, it should also be noted that the rates are
higher among women than among men; as well as, that women are twice as likely
to report pain as men. Regarding specific pain conditions, the following prevalences
stand out: 6-9% for chronic upper and lower lumbar pain, 5% for chronic neck pain,
13% for wide pain without fatigue, 6% , 7% for extensive pain with fatigue and 2.9%
for fibromyalgia.
In terms of treatments that stand out when treating this disease, there are two
types: those treatments that use analgesics and medical treatments that do not use
them. In the latter stand out above all acupuncture, physical therapy or surgery,
among others. In addition, today those treatments focused on the use of new
technologies are booming. Among these, especially those that use virtual reality
and augmented reality stand out. In the field of treatments focused on the use of
these last two, nowadays they are used in combination with other types of
treatments. However, it is expected that they can be used as individual treatments
and that their use be normalized. [-]
