Chronic pain study
Research exploring experiences of living with chronic pain in early adulthood
What is the purpose of the study?
In the UK, chronic pain affects over eight million people. Young adulthood is often perceived as a time where individuals are of optimal health, however research suggests that approximately 20-30% of young people experience persistent pain.
Therefore, Staffordshire University is conducting this research to explore experiences of living with chronic pain in early adulthood. In particular, there will be a focus on coping, managing and living with chronic pain.
