Abstract:
Pain after spinal cord injury (SCI) is well documented in the literature. Effective treatment for pain after SCI remains elusive and treatment protocols have not been well researched. Staff on a 32-bed SCI rehabilitation unit designed and implemented a descriptive research study to improve pain management outcomes. An interdisciplinary plan to improve pain management practices was developed as a result of the study. Guidelines of the American Academy of Pain Medicine and the American Pain Society (1997) and the Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research (1992 [now called Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality]) provided the framework for the interdisciplinary management of pain.
