About acute and chronic pain
Chronic pain is a widespread issue, affecting more than one in five U.S. adults, according to recent CDC survey data. In 2021, an estimated 51.6 million adults (20.9%) experienced chronic pain lasting three months or longer, and 17.1 million (6.9%) suffered from high-impact chronic pain—pain severe enough to limit daily activities.
Pain can be categorized into two types: acute and chronic. Acute pain typically lasts less than a week or two and is often associated with injury, inflammation, tissue damage, illness, or recent surgery. In contrast, chronic pain persists for months or even years.
The nature of pain can vary widely. It may present as back pain, cancer pain, arthritis pain, headaches, or other pain disorders, including those affecting the nerves. The sensations experienced can range from burning, stabbing, and aching to pulsing and more. Pain can occur anywhere in the body and can range from mild to severe, intermittent to continuous, and from distracting to disabling. Over time, chronic pain can evolve into a disease of its own, causing significant changes in the body, particularly in the nervous system.
