Pain is an undesirable feeling which occurs in response to tissue injury or damage in the body and comes as a warning. It is due to nervous system's action and remains until the cause is there. Once the tissue is healed, it usually stops hurting. But if the pain lasts for months or even years, even after the cause is cured or the pain comes without any trigger, it is considered to be chronic pain. If chronic pain continues for long in some patients, it can develop into chronic pain syndrome. Initially, it starts as a result of disease, but then it becomes a condition on its own. Chronic pain syndrome comes with mental and physical health problems such as depression, trouble sleeping, and anxiety.
