Acute pain is a sudden, sharp, and stinging pain that is localized to an injured area of the body. It is usually a sign of tissue damage or injury, and typically lasts for a short time (less than 6 months). Chronic pain, on the other hand, is a persistent pain that lasts for more than 3-6 months and often has no identifiable cause. Acute recurrent pain is pain that comes and goes over time, while chronic noncancer pain refers to pain that is not related to cancer.
