摘要/Abstract

摘要： 炎症和慢性疼痛是导致老年人生活质量下降和功能障碍的两种常见因素,它们之间存在着密切的联系。本文综述了炎症与慢性疼痛的关系、机制以及治疗方法,旨在为深入理解炎症在慢性疼痛发展中的作用提供理论依据,为临床诊疗实践提供参考。

Abstract: Inflammation and chronic pain are two common factors leading to a decline in the quality of life and functional impairments in the elderly, with a close relationship between them. This article reviews the relationship, mechanisms, and treatments of inflammation and chronic pain, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for a deeper understanding of the role of inflammation in the development of chronic pain, and to offer guidance for clinical practice.

Key words: inflammation, chronic pain, geriatric syndrome
