Nurse-led programme aims to improve quality of life for persistent-pain sufferers
Irish people have a frustrating time trying to describe the pain they suffer from. Chronic pain (which lasts for more than three months) affects 1.65 million people in Ireland, with back pain being the most frequently reported site of pain. Many of the afflicted have a difficult time trying to describe their pain in a way that allows doctors to really understand the potential cause and the impact on their lives.
