:Chronic pain is a prevalent issue among middle-aged women in Karachi, Pakistan, often affecting their quality of life and daily functioning. This study aimed to examine the prevalence, intensity, and quality of chronic pain, alongside the pain management practices and barriers faced by this demographic. Using a sample of 300 women aged 40 to 60; data was collected through a combination of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), a socioeconomic questionnaire, and a pain management practices survey. Results indicated that 68% of participants reported chronic pain, with lower back pain and joint pain being the most common. Pain was often described as "aching" and "tiring," with moderate to severe intensity. Pain management practices included both conventional methods, such as over the-counter medications and physical therapy, and alternative methods, including herbal remedies and spiritual healing. However, effectiveness was limited, with only partial relief reported across methods. Significant barriers to effective pain management included economic constraints, cultural beliefs about enduring pain, limited healthcare access, and a lack of awareness about treatment options. These findings underscore the need for culturally tailored interventions that enhance access to affordable pain management resources and address social stigmas associated with seeking help. The study’s implications point to the importance of expanding healthcare access, conducting public health education on pain management, and training healthcare providers in culturally sensitive practices to support chronic pain relief for women in similar socio-cultural contexts.
