According to Cartesian dualism, our physical and mental worlds (our bodies and minds) exist as separate entities. Pain signals a damaged or diseased body part. But pain that exists in the absence of identifiable damage or disease, or pain that persists beyond the expected resolution timeline, is perceived by some as being indicative of a “faulty mind.” This dualistic paradigm has persisted in mainstream medicine for around 400 years and remains pervasive today among the general population, patient population, and clinicians [5].
