A common symptom of many conditions is pain, with chronic pain being a significant cause of emotional distress and disability. Chronic pain is associated with a pro-inflammatory state. Diet interventions can be a helpful tool for the management of chronic pain and its associated inflammation. The increase of nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich foods and the reduction of pro-inflammatory foods, as well as correcting nutrient deficiencies, all appear to have a positive effect on pain. Whilst previous research on the impact of diet therapy in chronic pain yielded varied results, the authors of this article sought to analyse the most important literature to gain more clarity and direction for future research. After a detailed introduction on the different types of pain, the article summarises the outcome of a range of dietary interventions for chronic pain management. These include calorie restriction and fasting, polyunsaturated fatty acids, low-fat plant-based diets, high protein diet, elimination diet, antioxidants and vitamins including vitamin D, fruits and fibres, prebiotics and probiotics. In the discussion, a helpful table presents the key results organised by type of pain (chronic musculoskeletal pain, chronic headache, neuropathic pain, chronic abdominal pain) and the clinical interventions that showed positive outcomes. In conclusion, diet interventions could be part of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of chronic pain. This article yields an oversight of the possible interventions to consider when supporting people with different types of chronic pain.
