Portraying the Personal Side of Pain

Just as pain is a very personal experience, so is its portrayal

through creative expression. The artworks in this special Pain

Treatment Topics gallery depict a broad pallet of pain conditions,

created by patients who sometimes found that their artistic endeavors

also lessened their suffering. Healthcare providers can learn from

such works, for these express emotions, thoughts, and perspectives

that patients often cannot put into words.
