Abstract
- Summary This paper challenges current clinical models and systems for assessing and managing on-going pain states to incorporate a broader biological and therapeutic framework. Included is an acceptance of the current criticisms made towards a purely tissue based/modality based paradigm for pain treatment. The mature organism model proposed is presented as a workable conceptual starting block for incorporating mechanisms of pain into the broad science of stress biology and the biopsychosocial model of pain.
