Patients with advanced disease commonly report pain as one of their most feared and distressing symptoms. A biomedical treatment approach that focuses solely on biological factors can be helpful but often fails to adequately address important psychological, social, and spiritual factors that can contribute to pain. Behavioural and psychosocial approaches to understanding and treating pain in patients with advanced disease can be quite helpful in this context. These approaches not only have the potential to reduce pain but also improve patients’ overall adjustment to life-limiting disease. This chapter provides an overview of these approaches. It is divided into four sections, including a summary of the prevalence and undertreatment of pain in patients with advanced disease, a rationale for behavioural and psychosocial approaches to pain management, an overview of the most common and effective behavioural and psychosocial approaches, and clinical considerations and future directions.

In this final chapter of European Pain Management the editors summarize what has been learned from taking stock of the experiences in the 37 countries. There are common issues, such as the need to keep pace with the change in demand as demographics change, the requirements for creating specialty status in pain management, and the need to update and innovate with new methods and new science, and the challenges of working within different policy requirements, especially in regard to the control of medicines. There are examples of innovation in practice in all countries. Finally, we discuss the need for greater planning across Europe in order to innovate novel, sustainable models of the organization and delivery of care.

Nutrition plays an important role in pain management. Healthy eating patterns are associated with reduced systemic inflammation, as well as lower risk and severity of chronic non-cancer pain and associated comorbidities. The role of nutrition in chronic non-cancer pain management is an emerging field with increasing interest from clinicians and patients. Evidence from a number of recent systematic reviews shows that optimising diet quality and incorporating foods containing anti-inflammatory nutrients such as fruits, vegetables, long chain and monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, and fibre leads to reduction in pain severity and interference. This review describes the current state of the art and highlights why nutrition is critical within a person-centred approach to pain management. Recommendations are made to guide clinicians and highlight areas for future research.
