One in five people in Australia and New Zealand will experience chronic pain at some stage in their lives; and it's recognised as a major global health issue. Unrelieved pain can affect every area of a person's life with major social, financial and emotional consequences. Researchers at the University of New South Wales and Neuroscience Research Australia have done a randomised trial focusing on the experiences of people with chronic pain - and the role emotional processing plays in managing chronic pain conditions. Professor Lorimer Moseley is a professor of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of South Australia and the Chair of PainAdelaide. In this episode of Weekend One on One, he spoke with Peggy Giakoumelos on the role of psychology in chronic pain management.
