[Role of chronic pain management structures].
The chronic pain management structures were identified by the French health authorities regarding two levels: consultation (with a pluri-professional organization and proximity missions) and the center (with a multidisciplinary organization and expertise). Access to these structures is facilitated by guidelines published in 2008 by the Haute Autorité de santé.
