Shelagh Wright Discusses Components of Pain

Shelagh Wright, PhD, a retired lecturer from Dublin City University, discusses components of pain.

Pain is a complex experience that needs to be addressed from a biopsychosocial model, Wright says.

Whether pain is acute, chronic, malignant, or nonmalignant, physical and psychological components interact with each other and cannot be split when treating pain.

Knowledge is power. Don’t miss the most recent breakthroughs in cancer care.
