There is considerable neurobiological, clinical and epidemiological evidence that the systemic phenomena of anxiety and pain closely interact. Both perceptions trigger stress activation processes and are in turn modulated by long-term stress. This overview illustrates the coupling of pain, anxiety and stress with some clinical examples. The relations shown here should help us to gain a holistic view of the individual patient and his/her psychosocial reality, in which nociceptive, affective and vegetative symptoms are often interdependent and mutually reinforcing each other.
