Why do all such articles never talk about the meat of the solution? Why do I always feel like I'm being sold something.

Why is it so hard to explain the solution briefly, or directly present it to me upfront. Why does it need so much of mystery around it?

In this article the OP does not even mention "Pain reprocessing theory" which is what they seems to be talking about (based on the study they have linked)

As someone who has been mitigating and managing chronic pain for 25 years, with respect IMO your expectation is unrealistic.

There isn't a "solution" - you're looking at a life-long mitigation and management strategy that will not be "brief".

The time commitment typically goes up as one ages. I could spend 40 hours a week on nutrition, exercise and relaxation if I was trying to optimize for chronic pain reduction.

But then nothing else would get done.
