Stigma and the Brain Disease Model of Chronic Pain – Helping or Hurting?
This session will explore the neuroethical implications of brain disease explanations of chronic pain on stigma. Panelists’ presentations aim to shed light on the complexities of neuroessentialist explanations of chronic pain and explore potential avenues for improving interventions in pain management to reduce rather than entrench stigma for people living with chronic pain.
