chronification
Explanation:

... Der Hindsight Bias trägt zur Chronifizierung von Schmerzen bei. ... The Hindsight
Bias contributes to the chronification of pain. Summary. ...
www.psycontent.com/abstracts/ hh/zfp/2001/03/body-zfp0903316.html

Further studies should answer the question whether cortical reorganisation can be modulated in CRPS and whether such a modulation has favourable effects on pain intensity and chronification.
http://www.thieme-connect.com/ejournals/abstract/klinneuro/d...

Prevention of pain chronification is known to be a major goal in health care research since more than 80% of the costs of health care systems can be attributed to chronic back pain patients. Biomechanical factors play a significant role in back pain chronification. For long-term treatment effects, patients need to ad-here to a physical therapy exercise regimen by themselves. Unfortunately, only 30% of the patients are able to do so.

  -> Different mechanisms (inflammation, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, visceral) clustering prevent transition from acute to chronic pain (chronification) http://www.pain-workshop.com/pain/pain4/content/html/eng/pai...

agree Sabine Griebler: or turning chronic
4 mins

neutral Jonathan MacKerron: nearly all google references to "chronification" are from German sources, the word is in neither Dorlands nor any other English med. dictionary I have??

  -> Transition from acute to chronic pain. Sometimes Germans borrow words from us and sometimes it's the other way around - Drang nach Osten.

Bunjes suggests \"chronicity\"

sorry, that was Bunjes for \"Chronizität\" not for \"Chronifizierung\"!
