B L Crue, J J Pinsky, D C Agnew

    Bulletin of the Los Angeles Neurological Societies
    |October 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    A comprehensive pain center requires outpatient and inpatient services, a chronic pain unit, research facilities, and teaching affiliations. This multidisciplinary approach enhances pain management and research.

    Area of Science:

    • Pain Medicine
    • Healthcare Management
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Effective pain management requires a structured, multidisciplinary approach.
    • Current models may lack integration across different patient needs and research endeavors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the essential components of an ideal interdepartmental pain center.
    • To propose a model integrating clinical care, research, and education.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual framework development.
    • Literature review on existing pain management models.
    • Expert consensus on core service requirements.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed model includes: outpatient pain clinic, inpatient pain service (for intractable and cancer pain), psychotherapeutically-oriented chronic benign pain unit.
    • Essential components also include dedicated facilities for clinical and basic pain research.
    • Affiliations for a robust teaching program are critical for future pain specialists.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive, interdepartmental pain center model is proposed.
    • Integration of specialized clinical services, research, and education is key to advancing pain management.
    • This model aims to improve diagnosis, treatment, and research for diverse pain conditions.
