Chronic pain at midlife

The authors aim to address the significant impact of chronic pain on midlife women, particularly in relation to menopause and its associated biopsychosocial factors. They provide an overview of common chronic pain syndromes, their neurobiological mechanisms, and the importance of culturally sensitive, personalized management approaches to improve quality of life. The paper seeks to raise awareness among clinicians and policymakers about the complexities of pain in this demographic and promote effective care strategies.
