title: Evaluating pain treatment programs: a literature review.
abstract: The impetus for this project is an attempt to describe by comparison and literature review a pain control program that would provide active patient participation in a highly structured, intense, objectively graded program of comprehensive functional restoration that meets governmental, medical, moral, and ethical standards. Brena indicates that "...there are too many facilities which claim to be pain clinics ... bewildering physicians about their choice for referring their patients."
