Recently, the number of patients complaining chronic pain are increasing. Sometimes pain is untolerable and hoped to suicide for the patients. With chronic pain the quality of the patient's life will go down very much. In the 21st Century, it will be one of the biggest themes of psychosomatic medicine to diagnose and treat chronic pain. Originally pain is a personal sensation and a psychological reality and in chronic pain no abnormalities were found by all clinical examinations concerning pain. Therefore nowadays, by using the method of diagnosis, chronic pains cannot be classified for their treatment. In this study, the classification of chronic pain is attempted by using the figure which is made according to the degree of effect of medicines and of methods of treatment for chronic pain. This figure is changed from flat to solid in number by checking the effect of treatment. After the separation of acute pains from chronic pains by the classified types of these figures, the useful treatment of chronic pain will be found. It will be one of the most useful medicines in the 21st Century to cure pain in the human life.
