Pain management in the emergency department – A behavioral medicine perspective
Jan Persson
Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden
P
sychosocial issues have been recognized as important for the understanding and treatment of pain for many decades. Their
relevance has mainly been limited to chronic pain, however. Acute pain has been thought to be largely determined by
nociception. Albeit there is some truth to this, research in recent years has revealed a significant influence of contextual factors
in acute pain situations as well. An evolving conceptual framework for understanding the expression of pain in a psychosocial
context is behavioural medicine, based on contextual behavioural science as well as on biomedicine. This presentation will use
the model of emergency department pain to describe a behavioural medicine conceptual model for acute pain.
