The present conceptualisation of chronic pain as a complex experience, in which sensorial, affective-emotional and cognitive aspects are associated, holds important implications for treatment, since it poses the need for including multi-disciplinary therapeutic proposals within which medico-pharmaceutical and psychological treatments are integrated. In the present paper we explain in a detailed way a protocol of psychological treatment, cognitive-behavioural group therapy, which for the next two years will be carried out with patients with chronic pain in the Pain Unit of the Hospital of Navarra and in the Traumatology service of the Ubarmin Clinic.
