Abstract
Chronic pain is a major cause of disability. Outpatient pain management services take
a multidisciplinary approach based on a biopsychosocial framework, providing assessment
and management of patients who suffer from chronic pain. The emphasis is on education
and promotion of self-management. Appropriate facilities, management and cohesive
working is essential to provide evidence-based effective pain management.
