Thorough evaluation of the patient is important, and it is important to recognize the psychosocial implications of pain. Multimodal treatment approaches using lifestyle measures, physical therapy, and psychotherapy may empower patients and provide useful tools for coping with this condition. Neuropathic medications are promising alternatives to opioid analgesics for chronic pain conditions. There are promising surgical options emerging for CSP.
