Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and chronic pain have been identified as global health challenges for health professionals, and there is a robust literature linking PTSD and chronic pain. Much of the research is focused on high-income countries, leaving a serious gap when chronic pain is considered globally. Using the concept of Continuous Traumatic Stress (CTS), we look at how broader social conditions impact on the experience of chronic pain. We review the relevant literature on chronic pain, PTSD, and CTS, and suggest a research agenda for a more globally relevant and contextual understanding of chronic pain.
