Chronic Pain
Chronic pain refers to pain that has been around for more than 3 months and isn’t usually curable.
Our services include
- Clinical psychology: For patients who associate their pain with high levels of distress and disability.
- Exercise: We help patients with a manageable exercise programme that fits around their chronic pain.
The Royal Derby Hospital pain management unit runs a series of pain management programmes throughout the year. These are all attended on an outpatient basis, with each group completing nine or ten sessions of half a day per week.
