2. POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE
Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat?
Treatment of simple chronic pain is fundamentally different from
that of complex chronic pain. One clinician can manage the former,
whereas the latter requires the integration of a multidisciplinary
team of specialists with a biopsychosocial treatment philosophy.
