title: Worsening of chronic pain: the treatment.
abstract: Chronic pain is a symptom that inevitably goes along with a condition of critical ischemia of the lower limbs, termed also as "obstructive peripheral arteriopathy". This sometimes displays worsening, provoking difficult physical and psychological behaviors of the patients. The complexity of this kind of patients results in difficulties in their clinical management. A multidisciplinary team, namely the close and coordinated collaboration of various kinds of professionists, could give better results, than an individual approach, thanks to strategies of re-equilibrating the systemic homeostasis of the given patient.
