1 -- Chronic pain is typically of three to six months duration and may not have an identified physiologic cause. The patient might not exhibit signs of pain such as elevations in vital signs, grimacing, writhing, or moaning. There is no indication that chronic pain is less severe than acute pain, although in some instances it may be more diffuse.
