Hi ~ This is MY understanding of the two: Severe chronic pain is pain that is extremely bad, and has been going on for more than 3 months without relief.
Intractable pain is pain that is not relieved by ANYTHING -- nothing seems to work. Now whether or not I'm correct could be up for discussion. LOL I hope this helps a little. Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
