Chronic pain is one of the most widespread health problems, with up to 43% of people in the UK reporting that they experience chronic pain, of which 10−14% report moderate to severely disabling chronic pain. Conditions in which pain itself has become the primary disease include generalised chronic musculoskeletal pain, low-back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic headache or migraine, generalised chronic musculoskeletal pain and abdominal pain.
The biology and pathophysiology of chronic pain is diverse and highly individual; however, there are important shared mechanisms across seemingly disparate clinical conditions that could help identify mechanism-based as opposed to symptom-based treatments, improving personalisation and outcomes.
This seminar is an update on the clinical management of chronic pain from a personalised functional perspective. Topics include nutritional assessment of drivers of chronic pain, nutritional neuropathies, mechanism-based management including immunological, mitochondrial, redox and genetic biomarkers as well as evidence-based nutritional analgesics, including clinical use and safety.
