Abstract:
Integrative medicine can usefully be applied to the care of patients suffering from chronic pain, when there is a good understanding of its framework. Integrative pain management relies on the following principles: considering globally all aspects of the person's life, creating a strong partnership with the patient, choosing treatments both from complementary and conventional medecine as long as they are relying on evidence and prioritizing therapeutic interventions that are the least invasive and costly for equal benefits. This article provides key elements to enhance a pain management plan through a holistic perspective. Amongst other practical tools, it offers a non exhaustive synthesis of validated therapeutic techniques based on recent reviews and clinical guidelines for different pain conditions.
