Pain management in musculoskeletal conditions

Nicholas, Michael K.·2008·Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology

Abstract

This chapter describes a biopsychosocial model of pain and the way in which it can provide a basis for the assessment of pain and the use of non-pharmacological pain management strategies. Various non-pharmacological interventions for musculoskeletal pain are described and evaluated. These include physical, psychological and social/environmental interventions. Given the often complex nature of patients presenting with persisting pain, it is not surprising that single-modality treatments are rarely sufficient on their own, and combinations of interventions offer advantages, on theoretical grounds at least. However, a number of challenges facing clinicians and researchers in applying these methods, especially when done alongside invasive and/or pharmacological interventions, remains to be fully addressed. These challenges have implications for the roles of clinicians from all disciplines, as well as for their patients and the community at large.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
