A study, published in the Clinical Journal of Pain, has found that patients suffering from chronic pain may experience improvement if they receive care from primary care teams who are trained in multiple aspects of pain management, including emotional consequences, according to a News-Medical report.
Researchers conducted a pilot study assessing the Primary Practice Physician Program for Chronic Pain and its impact on patients and providers. The program is designed to train physicians to lead an interdisciplinary team for pain management. The team includes a pain-informed psychologist, occupational therapist and a physical therapist.
The study found that chronic pain patients experienced improved outcomes. They also reported reduced pain, fatigue and depression, according to the report.
