Takeaways

• The PRISM model is a comprehensive approach to pain management that addresses the complexities of pain and incorporates a process-based approach.
• The biopsychosocial model has evolved over time, and the PRISM model aims to build upon it by incorporating new research and understanding.
• The PRISM model consists of six domains: person context, purpose, pain literacy, pain mindset, physical activity, and physiology.
• There are 18 processes within the PRISM model that support the domains and help guide the treatment and management of pain.
• Barriers to integrating a holistic approach to pain care include education, reimbursement systems, and individual resistance to change.
• Embracing discomfort and uncertainty is necessary for clinicians to expand their thinking and provide more effective care.
• Resilience is a key component of the PRISM model, and helping patients access their own resilience can lead to positive growth and recovery. Chronic pain is a complex condition that requires a comprehensive understanding of its underlying causes and contributing factors.
• The biopsychosocial model emphasizes the interaction between biological, psychological, and social factors in the experience of chronic pain.
• Treatment approaches for chronic pain should be multidimensional, addressing physical, psychological, and social aspects of the condition.
• Collaboration between clinicians and patients is crucial in developing effective treatment plans for chronic pain.
