OverviewChronic pain is a common, complex, and challenging condition, where understanding the biological, social, physical and psychological contexts is vital to successful outcomes in primary care. Chronic musculoskeletal pain is one of the most intractable clinical problems faced by clinicians and patients and is both amplified and perpetuated by psychological and socially traumatic events. Among current health and social traumas, the current COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated long-standing difficulties accessing already scarce multidisciplinary pain care, threatening vulnerable communities and socially isolating and economically disrupting the lives of our patients with chronic pain.
