The biological response to stress and chronic pain
The biological response to stress and chronic pain
This chapter outlines the ways in which psychological and physical stressors may interact with the pain matrix to generate chronic pain. It then explores how alterations in the molecular response to stress may be associated with chronic pain by examining the role of the neuroendocrine system. Finally, to bring these areas into focus and to explore how both the pain matrix and neuroendocrine function may explain the relationship between stress and chronic pain, the chapter presents state-of-the-art data in relation to fibromyalgia, a non-articular rheumatic disorder characterized by chronic widespread pain (CWP).

Abstract
This chapter outlines the ways in which psychological and physical stressors may interact with the pain matrix to generate chronic pain. It then explores how alterations in the molecular response to stress may be associated with chronic pain by examining the role of the neuroendocrine system. Finally, to bring these areas into focus and to explore how both the pain matrix and neuroendocrine function may explain the relationship between stress and chronic pain, the chapter presents state-of-the-art data in relation to fibromyalgia, a non-articular rheumatic disorder characterized by chronic widespread pain (CWP).
