Summary
Multidisciplinary pain management programs (PMPs) have evolved, shifting towards cognitive behavioral methods and holistic assessments for chronic pain. While core components remain, some elements like medication withdrawal have decreased over time.
Area of Science:
- Pain Management
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Multidisciplinary pain management programs (PMPs) are the gold standard for chronic noncancer pain.
- The specific content and structure of PMPs are not well-defined.
- Understanding PMP evolution is crucial for optimizing chronic pain care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify common content and structures in inpatient PMPs.
- To analyze how PMP content and structure have changed over five decades (1970s-2010s).
Main Methods:
- A mapping review of studies featuring inpatient PMPs.
- Extraction of data on program content, format, structure, clinicians, and outcomes.
- Analysis of publications across five decades.
Main Results:
- All PMPs included physical therapy and psychology; most included education.
- Physical therapy remained consistent, but psychology shifted from operant conditioning to cognitive behavioral methods.
- Involvement of nurses and occupational therapists declined, while outcome measures shifted to quality of life and general health.
Conclusions:
- PMP content and format have evolved, influenced by psychological advancements.
- Current PMPs demonstrate a more holistic approach to pain assessment and management.
- The evolution reflects a dynamic adaptation to best practices in chronic pain care.

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Managing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) involves a multifaceted approach to reduce symptoms, prevent exacerbations, improve overall health status, and slow disease progression. Key strategies include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, supportive therapies, and, in some cases, surgery. Here is an overview of the primary COPD management strategies:

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...
