Abstract Chronic pain was globally recognized as a condition with multifactorial etiology, multidimensional clinical presentation and multidisciplinary therapeutic delivery. The objective of this short communication was to throw light on dietary and nutritional supplementation as a management option for people with chronic pain. Although goal-directed healthcare and multidisciplinary rehabilitation dictated a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach to management, dietary interventions such as therapeutic fasting, oral cannabis, and oral tryptophan were reported to be effective dietary treatment options for people with chronic pain. The evidence however is too insufficient to provide any recommendation for practice.
