    An inpatient chronic pain program significantly improved patient outcomes at discharge. However, long-term results showed a diminished improvement rate, though patients avoided drug relapse and hospital readmissions.

    Area of Science:

    • Pain Management
    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Behavioral Health

    Background:

    • Chronic pain affects a significant number of inpatients.
    • Effective treatment programs are needed to manage pain and improve function.
    • Long-term outcomes of inpatient pain management programs require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of an inpatient program for chronic pain.
    • To assess patient outcomes at discharge and at 6-month follow-up.
    • To determine if functional improvements are sustained and if maladaptive behaviors are avoided.

    Main Methods:

    • An inpatient program was implemented for patients with chronic pain.
    • Patient outcomes were assessed at discharge.

  • Outcomes were reassessed at a 6-month short-term follow-up.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvement was observed in 79% of patients at discharge.
    • The improvement rate decreased to 50% at the 6-month follow-up.
    • Patients demonstrated increased work-related activity and avoided previous drug use and hospitalizations.

    Conclusions:

    • The inpatient program shows initial success in improving chronic pain symptoms.
    • Sustained improvement requires further attention beyond initial discharge.
    • The program effectively facilitated functional recovery and prevented relapse into substance use and rehospitalization.
