Pain and Psychology-A Reciprocal Relationship.

CONCLUSION: The intricate relationship between pain and psychology is evidenced by the clinical overlap in their presentations and the overlap between the anatomic regions in the brain associated with the emotional and sensory features of pain and the areas affected by depression. Studies are beginning to improve our understanding of these two systems, but more studies are needed to elucidate the relationship. PMID: 28638291 [PubMed - in process]
