Why does the Pain Management Best Practices report matter? #1: It emphasizes that #pain is an enormous public health problem with profound individual & societal consequences. #aplanforpain (1/7 - continued)
#2: it points out that successful management of pain requires individualization of care. There is no one-size-fits-all. (2/7) #aplanforpain
#3 it confirms that best practice in pain management is multimodal, multidisciplinary, integrated... and calls out the lack of affordability of many nonpharmacological treatments. (3/7) #aplanforpain
#4 it addresses how stigma is a major barrier to treatment- the public, care providers, and policymakers need to understand pain is a complex disease. (4/7) #aplanforpain
#5 specifically, it talks about how everyone needs more training/education on chronic vs. acute pain, how to best treat pain, that pain is biopsychosocial disease & affects mental health, relationships, work, etc. (5/7) #aplanforpain
#6 it calls attention to particularly vulnerable populations: people of color, women, the elderly, children. We also love that it focuses in on #sicklecelldisease, which is so poorly understood and undertreated. (6/7) #aplanforpain
#7 it says the risk-benefit balance for opioid management must be considered on an individual basis--no single guideline or mandate, and calls attention to the harm of force tapering. (7/7) #aplanforpain
