AbstractThis short communication paper was aimed to provide a perspective viewpoint on the chronic pain preventive strategies and methods from an evidence-informed search of PubMed database. There were studies on whiplash associated disorder, low back pain, post-operative (inguinal hernia surgery), and therapeutic adjunct to cognitive-behavioral therapy, all of which proved acceptable results in favor of preventive interventions targeted against development of chronic pain. Future studies are recommended on multidimensional multidisciplinary interventions in prevention of multifactorial presentation of chronic pain along a biopsychosocial model.
