Pain speaking - and anesthesiologists answer

Article Abstract:

Anesthesiologists discussed advances in pain management at a recent conference. Most large teaching hospitals with a residency program in anesthesiology have pain management clinics, and most hospitals have an acute pain team and a chronic pain team. Anesthesiologists do not agree on the use of opiates to treat patients who do not have cancer or other terminal diseases. But sometimes patients disabled by chronic pain may benefit from the use of opiates to alleviate their pain. Patients with chronic pain may suffer from life-threatening depression or changes in their immune system. Pain management became a subspecialty of anesthesiology in the 1980s, and the American Board of Anesthesiology is considering certifying pain management. Research scientists are examining the physiological cause of pain and different mechanisms to control pain.
