Abstract
Background: Chronic pain often occurs amidst multimorbidity. The proposed cumulative strain model postulates diverse but interlinked biological mechanisms of strain playing a role in the causation of multiple chronic conditions, including chronic pain. Modulators of strain include mindbody, connection, activity, nutrition and biomedical aspects. These modulators can be targeted therapeutically to bring a shift towards wellness.
Objective: The aim of this paper is to highlight common mechanisms underpinning chronic conditions and prompt consideration of how these mechanisms might be targeted therapeutically in primary care.
Discussion: The recognition of common underlying mechanisms and treatments for chronic conditions, including chronic pain, opens the way for consideration of generic chronic condition programs in primary care, and hence a reduced requirement for condition-specific specialist referrals.
期刊介绍：
The Australian Journal of General Practice (AJGP) aims to provide relevant, evidence-based, clearly articulated information to Australian general practitioners (GPs) to assist them in providing the highest quality patient care, applicable to the varied geographic and social contexts in which GPs work and to all GP roles as clinician, researcher, educator, practice team member and opinion leader. All articles are subject to peer review before they are accepted for publication.
