30% of Adults worldwide suffer from CHRONIC PAIN. That is, pain that has lasted for more than 12 weeks in duration
New pain (ACUTE PAIN) can be caused by tissue injury and , inflammation which can develop into neuropathic pain
What is the role of Vitamin D?
Recently, the literature has placed a significant focus on the interplay between vitamin D (VD) and pain. VD, known as a hormone and neuroactive steroid, can exert analgesic effects by modulating neuronal excitability.
Some studies have found that low vitamin D can be associated with musculoskeletal pain, myalgia, chronic lower back pain, and chronic headache.
A 2025 study found that Vitamin D deficiency was related to
Increased postoperative pain
lower back pain
arthrosis
Neuropathy
Increase the likelihood of new pain turning into long-term pain
