Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is an effective treatment for chronic pain, focusing on the pain-fear cycle and emotions associated with pain. PRT educates patients that chronic pain acts as a faulty signal rather than a sign of bodily danger. This therapy emphasizes the role of social connections in managing pain. By addressing the thought processes that contribute to fear and panic associated with pain, PRT helps patients reframe their understanding of pain. Ultimately, the goal is to help individuals recognize that pain does not necessarily indicate an underlying threat to their health.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy dives into the idea that chronic pain needs to be understood as a faulty signal that does not mean the body is in danger.
Chronic pain is pain that has lost its 'signal' function. Like a faulty fire alarm, it signals a non-existent fire.
