According to the American Chronic Pain Association (ACPA), more than 50 million people in the United States suffer from chronic pain. Each year, Americans lose nearly $100 billion due to reduced productivity, sick time and medical costs associated with chronic pain (National Institute of Health, “New Direction in Pain Research,” Washington, D.C., GPO. 1998).
