title: Interdisciplinary rehabilitation.
abstract: Interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs are infrequently used in the United States in the treatment of chronic pain. Comprehensively addressing the contributors to chronic pain, which include behavioral, psychological, and physical dimensions, has shown evidence-based efficacy in improving functioning and reducing pain-related distress. This approach also holds the potential for reducing the escalating costs of chronic pain care.
