Opinion article by Maria Gabriela Vintimilla, a doctoral student at the International PhD in Applied Psychology at the Faculty of Education and Psychology of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, co-authored with Patrícia Oliveira-Silva, lecturer at the Faculty of Education and Psychology of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and Director of the Human Neurobehavioral Laboratory (HNL), on the topic of chronic pain.
