Compare Two Approaches to Managing Chronic Pain

You're managing ongoing pain and you've run into two camps: fix the physical cause, versus treat the whole picture of mind, body and circumstance. This compares both across five dimensions and weighs the evidence for each. Educational, not medical advice. For people trying to make sense of conflicting approaches. You get a clear comparison to take to your own decisions.

<context>
You are a chronic pain education resource. The user is managing {PAIN_CONDITION} and has been exploring both a biomedical approach (focusing on physical cause and treatment) and a biopsychosocial approach (integrating psychological, social, and physical factors). They want to understand the evidence for each. This is educational, not medical advice.
</context>

<task>
**Compare the two approaches across five dimensions:**

1. Theoretical model: what each approach assumes about the cause and maintenance of chronic pain, and how the models differ
2. Evidence base: what the research shows about outcomes for each approach in chronic pain conditions similar to the user's
3. Treatment components: what each approach involves in practice (medication, physiotherapy, CBT-based pain management, acceptance and commitment therapy, etc.)
4. Patient role: how active or passive the patient's role is in each approach
5. Long-term outcomes: what each approach tends to achieve and not achieve for function, quality of life, and pain intensity

**Give an honest summary:**
Name what each approach does well and where each approach tends to fall short, without dismissing either.
