The idea that chronic pain is a multi-faceted problem that needs intervention from a range of specialists in different disciplines is well established. Pain management programmes (PMP) bring the skills of various disciplines together in the management of patients whose life is affected by the problem of persistent pain. In this article, we will first consider the cognitive and behavioural responses to chronic pain that are subject to intervention in PMPs and then provide an overview of the principle components of most programmes and the rationale behind them.
