Cognitive Therapy for Chronic Pain Sufferers
I have someone I know in my family who will be trying this approach to his chronic pain. I was looking at information about it, and it intrigues me. Has anyone heard of this new approach to treat chronic pain? It looks promising in the results that I am finding online. Edit: Seems like a really good alternative to medication therapies.

I have heard of that. I know a few friends of mine who have chronic pain. One has migrain attacks that are so bad even medicine would not help.
I do think - however - that a combination approach is best . Medics and cognitive therapy . I think once the cognitive therapy establishes the medics can get cut back a little. Its interesting. cognitive therapy is a really good and well-established form of therapy for psychosomatic approaches.
I also heard that Botox should be helpful with Migraines. That is also quite an interesting approach.

Really? Here I thought Botox was just for cosmetic purposes. I had no idea...

Oh no, there are recent studies that it can be used against chronic migraines too. In Europe the doctors who sell it for cosmetic purposes brand it for this use too.
here is a short article i just googled :-) http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/16/health/16drug.html

I'd intorduce you to the psycho shrink chick I dated, but I'm not that cruel. She was a cognative therapist. Her unconcious therapy sessions were painful.

CT is a very reputable school of therapy and is used for a broad array of problems. I have no direct experience with it in pain management, but I would suspect that it would be especially useful for handling residual pain that can neither be treated, nor ameliorated via other modalities. It is useful for keeping the right mental outlook. However, if drugs or other pain control modalities haven't been exhausted, and the pain is truly intractable, I would try those modalities first, before I resorted to CT.

Well I know he has been on some modest medication. If I recall he has been taking Norco / Vicodin for roughly 6 months to a year, along with cortisone medication (don't remember what it was called). He has been in physical therapy several times, and he tries to keep active as he can. I know he has something called Ankylosing spondilitis (not sure if I spelled that right). He had one back surgery and has some significant hip problems. He is 65 years old. I worry about the medications he takes, and am concerned that the narcotic medication might cause physical dependency.
I am hoping that this new technique will give him some relief.

Yes it is as far as i recall the only school of therapy that was evaluated as really working (lol) . I think its because of the behavioural modification that also comes along with the changes in cognition. SOmetimes if you behave in a way to support the pain rather than get along with it or try to dismiss it, it goes a log way. I doubt though that cognitive therapy ALONE standing by itself can be really helping except the pain is only psychological induced, which it hardly ever is with chronic pain patients.
The problem also with medication only is the level of addiciton and the dosage supply that has to be increased. Its tough to monitor chronic pain wiht medication. So it might be really a good step to help
