Chronic pain is a painful condition that lasts longer than 3 months, a pain that persists beyond the reasonable time for an injury to heal or a pain that persists 1 month beyond the usual course of an acute disease.

There are four basic types of chronic pain, pain persisting beyond the normal healing time for a disease,  pain related to a chronic degenerative disease, cancer-related pain, and pain that emerges or persists without an identifiable cause.
