Pain treatment facilities classification
Pain treatment facilities are unique forms of health care delivery, as they intrinsically recognise that no one health discipline can adequately address the multi-factorial nature of pain, especially chronic pain, that occurs in contemporary industrialised society. The staff of pain treatment facilities bring together diverse skills, training and experience to focus on the assessment and rational management of patients with pain. Although it is recognised that there is no necessary consensus regarding diagnostic and therapeutic schemata, the essence of pain treatment facilities is to facilitate interdisciplinary consultation.
