If an organic pathology cannot be found to explain a patient's pain what should a clinician infer?

If an organic pathology cannot be found to explain a patient's pain, a clinician should consider the possibility of functional or psychosomatic pain. This may indicate that the pain is influenced by psychological, emotional, or social factors rather than a specific physical cause. It is important for the clinician to adopt a holistic approach, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of the patient's experience, and to explore potential underlying issues that may contribute to the pain. Furthermore, effective communication and reassurance can help in managing the patient's concerns.
