Abstract
IMAZ, José Antonio Garciandía and REYES, Claudia Marcela Rozo. Chronic Pain and Grief. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2019, vol.48, n.3, pp.182-191. ISSN 0034-7450. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcp.2017.05.008.
Introduction:
The aim of this article was to conduct a systematic review in order to find information that enables a connection between chronic pain and the grieving process to be established, beyond the intuitive relationships that connects them.
Methods:
The medical literature was reviewed in search of articles that provide some evidence of the connection between chronic pain and grief.
Results:
The available information on both topics by themselves is profuse but there are very few publications that deal with both issues simultaneously.
Conclusions:
The connection between chronic pain and grief has been mentioned intuitively as a condition taken for granted. However, little evidence of this relationship has been published, which suggests that this topic has not been widely researched.
Keywords : Chronic pain; Grief.
