Abstract
Chronic pain can cause limitations in mobility, daily activities, and sleeping disturbances, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation, in addition to longterm disabilities in some cases. Chronic pain's influence on a person's physical and emotional well-being highlights the need for timely and effective pain management strategies. We discuss some new technologies in this subject to be updated.
