“…Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than expected for a particular injury, and affects daily life and wellbeing (Berquin et al, 2011). Overall 8.5% of Belgian citizens seek help for chronic pain in a pain clinic; as not all patients seek specialised help, the actual number of chronic pain patients is likely higher (Berquin et al, 2011); worldwide, prevalence is about 10% (Andrews et al, 2018).…”

In Western societies, human existence and illness are mostly constructed from the perspective of mind-body dualism: body and mind are considered to function independently, and the body/the physical as primary and more real. Research shows, however, that mind-body dualism is no longer tenable, especially in healthcare contexts. This led to the rise the biopsychosocial model, in which bodily experiences, including illness, are seen an interplay of the physical and the psychological, and the social. This model is the current gold standard for treating chronic pain. As these perspectives on the body and illness are potentially conflicting, and discursively constructed, this paper examines whether they are a source of misalignment in interactions between chronic pain patients and their doctors in a pain clinic. The analysis shows these perspectives indeed lead to misalignment, for instance when discussing the relevance of psychotherapy, and lead to intricate uses of argumentative resources to account for the differing perspectives on (the treatment of) pain.

“…1 Extrapolating Belgian data from the Pain in Europe survey to the Belgian population, it was estimated in 2011 that approximately 940 000 adults (11% of adults) suffered from mild to severe chronic pain. 1,2 If all these patients were to be Questionnaires Demographic questions included age, gender, weight, height, professional status (employed, student, retired, invalidity, unemployed), and postal code (allowing us to assess the geographical distribution of participants).…”

Background: Chronic pain prevalence is very high in the general population, much higher than can be managed by chronic pain centers. Therefore, most pain patients are cared for by first-line professionals. However, general practitioners often feel ill at ease with these patients, and only a few studies assess the burden of chronic pain in general practice. To better estimate the resources needed to support these professionals, a good knowledge of (sub)acute and chronic pain prevalence and prognosis in general practices is needed. Methods: We report cross-sectional data from a larger longitudinal study performed in French-speaking general practices in Belgium in November 2018. Fifth-year medical students performing a one-month internship collected data for every third patient they saw each day: demographic information, pain characteristics, lifestyle, general health perception and the short Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire in the French language. Results: 3882 patients (participation rate 66%) accepted to take part in the study. 22 and 50% of these suffered from (sub)acute and chronic pain, respectively. Pain was more often the motive of the consultation for (sub)acute than for chronic pain patients. Pain intensity and functional impact were moderate, irrespective of pain duration. 70% of (sub)acute and 31% of chronic pain patients were at low risk of chronicity. Conclusion:In our sample, chronic pain patients constituted 33-50% of patient contacts in general practice, indicating the high importance of providing adequate support to general practitioners and other first-line professionals, ie, by reinforcing collaboration with chronic pain centers.
