What if understanding pain could change it?

Explain Pain has transformed the way clinicians, patients and families understand and respond to pain. Grounded in modern pain science, it offers a clear, practical framework for making sense of even the most persistent and complex pain experiences.

Pain is always real – but it is not always a sign of damage. This book shows how pain experiences are constructed in response to dangers and threats in our bodies and influenced by our thoughts, beliefs and context.

Drawing on advances in neurophysiology, brain imaging, immunology and psychology – alongside thousands of real pain stories – Explain Pain Second Edition provides an empowering way to approach recovery.

Written in clear, accessible language, the second edition has been carefully updated to reflect the latest developments in pain science, with refined concepts and improved clarity throughout.

Extensively referenced and designed to work alongside the Explain Pain Handbook: Protectometer, this is an essential resource for:

• clinicians supporting people in pain
• people living with pain
• families seeking to understand and help

Understanding pain can change pain. This book shows you how.
