Modern techniques of pain management.
Even clinicians who keep up with the research literature on pain mechanisms may find themselves uncertain when trying to bring these new theories down to practical application for a patient with pain. The areas of dysfunction to be attacked should be systematically outlined, a complementary set of treatments be decided on, and follow-through be done in a reasonable number of visits. Physicians must also know when to refer a patient who goes beyond their own assessment and treatment skills.
