When a person is in chronic pain, not only are they physically affected but also emotionally and financially. Studies estimate that 70 million visits to healthcare providers were motivated by pain and that 4.9 million people visited a healthcare provider for treatment of chronic pain, all at an estimated cost exceeding $100 billion. Overall, the quality of life of an individual suffering from pain is deeply affected. Despite advanced studies on pain and development of new medications and technology have been made over the years, pain still continues to be one of the major healthcare problems in the US.
