ABSTRACT
The pain experienced by most chronic wound pain sufferers is typically a complex, multidimensional phenomenon (1,2). It usually involves procedural pain (such as pain from debridement, dressings, or therapies) as well as nonprocedural pain (such as body image changes, loss of function, suffering, or ache and anguish) (3,4). Only in the past decade and a half has the importance of the chronic wound pain experience been truly appreciated by wound care providers (5–8).
