Abstract
Acute Chronic Pain Management in Primary Care Acute episodes of pain can complicate the progress of patients with persistent pain. These need to be managed carefully to avoid factors which may aggravate the ability of the patient to cope. Understanding the features of persistent pain may help guide management of the exacerbations along sociopsychobiomedical model of care. |
