The conversation provides valuable insights for both clinicians and patients struggling with chronic pain.TakeawaysThe PRISM model is a comprehensive approach to pain management that addresses the complexities of pain and incorporates a process-based approach.The biopsychosocial model has evolved over time, and the PRISM model aims to build upon it by incorporating new research and understanding.The PRISM model consists of six domains: person context, purpose, pain literacy, pain mindset, physical activity, and physiology.There are 18 processes within the PRISM model that support the domains and help guide the treatment and management of pain.Barriers to integrating a holistic approach to pain care include education, reimbursement systems, and individual resistance to change.Embracing discomfort and uncertainty is necessary for clinicians to expand their thinking and provide more effective care.Resilience is a key component of the PRISM model, and helping patients access their own resilience can lead to positive growth and recovery. Chronic pain is a complex condition that requires a comprehensive understanding of its underlying causes and contributing factors.The biopsychosocial model emphasizes the interaction between biological, psychological, and social factors in the experience of chronic pain.Treatment approaches for chronic pain should be multidimensional, addressing physical, psychological, and social aspects of the condition.Collaboration between clinicians and patients is crucial in developing effective treatment plans for chronic pain.*********************************************************************📸 - Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/modernpaincare/🐦 - Follow us on Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/modernpaincare/🎙️ - Listen to our Podcast - https://www.modernpaincare.com____________________________________Modern Pain Care is a company dedicated to spreading evidence-based and person-centered information about pain, prevention, and overall fitness and wellness
