Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Managing patients with chronic pain syndrome can be frustrating and unrewarding. Much of the difficulty experienced when managing these patients stems from an incomplete understanding of pain, especially the difference between acute and chronic pain. Pain theory and treatment of chronic pain syndrome are reviewed. An alternative management strategy for chronic pain syndrome is presented and the literature is reviewed.
