“Why does chronic pain affect the whole person?”

In our third episode of Relatable Rheumatology: From Stories to Studies, we explore chronic pain and our expanding understanding of its impact on both body and mind. To examine chronic pain from a “whole-person” perspective, we will discuss how pain thresholds change, how emotions intersect with bodily sensations, and what all of this means for chronic pain treatment using pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. 

We are joined by Dr. Beth Darnall, Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University's School of Medicine and Director of Stanford Pain Relief Innovations Lab and Tien Sydnor-Campbell, a patient advocate who lives with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and who is a medically retired, body-centered psychotherapist and former body worker with 25 years of clinical experience.

This podcast is co-produced by the Global Healthy Living Foundation and HCP Live.
