Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions
All of these conditions are poorly understood and predominantly affect women. When a person is affected by two or more of these conditions at the same time, they are referred to as Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs). The complexity of overlap among COPCs is shown in this figure. Any combination of conditions is possible. A mechanism known as central sensitisation is involved.
