and most effective treatments for management of chronic as well as acute pain. Topics include pain pathophysiology, taxonomy of pain,
evaluation of chronic pain, problems with insurance-based research on chronic pain, opioids, opioid tolerance, documentation and potential
documentation tools in long-term opioid therapy, non-opioid analgesics, adjuvants, topical analgesics, and intrathecal analgesia. Different
overall approaches to pain management are also discussed, including behavioral medicine approaches, physical medicine approaches, complimentary
and alternative medical approaches, and interventional approaches.
