Professionalism has at times been criticized as not being genuine, but clinical care is like an Olympic sport, it takes a lot of training to become effortless and natural. By actively incorporating essential components of the biopsychosocial model, patient-centered care, interprofessional collaboration, motivational interviewing, the stages of change model, healthcare ethics, and model strategies from clinical psychology, it is possible to engage in more successful and satisfying outcomes with patients. Because most chronic problems are not truly best served by a series of injections or surgeries, we need to increase knowledge of, motivation toward, and competence in the range of chronic condition management approaches that are evidence-based, safe, and effective in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":126639,"journal":{"name":"Pain Care Essentials","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125085884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rehabilitation approaches to pain include somatic, biopsychosocial, and changes in neurochemical pathways in response to exercise, psychological interventions, and other therapeutic aspects. Rehabilitation occurs after injury, trauma, disease, or dysfunction leads to pain and the need for functional restoration. Prehabilitation is now being used in anticipation of planned procedures to reduce the impact of decreased activity in the operative setting and to increase the likelihood of successful return to function. Complementary and alternative therapies are often incorporated into rehabilitative pain management plans. In the process of providing clinical care for patients with persistent or disabling pain-associated conditions, questions of impairment, disability, and pending legal action may arise, and these are discussed. Applications in outpatient pain care address the coordination of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches and the challenges of planning and organizing effective evidence-based pain self-management plans in the outpatient setting.","PeriodicalId":126639,"journal":{"name":"Pain Care Essentials","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127000802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assessment of patients with chronic pain is described, and the benefits and potential risks of psychological assessment are characterized. Pain psychology concepts, including pain catastrophizing, pain anxiety, and passive coping, are explained. The major treatment paradigms, including psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance commitment therapy, relaxation strategies, mindfulness-based therapies, biofeedback, and treatment responses, are described in detail. An application of CBT is presented, explaining to the reader the process of feeding forward through automatic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and illustrating how this is changed positively by CBT to reduce the negative impacts of chronic pain on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, leading ultimately to less pain and less pain interference.

The tools appropriate for pain assessment vary across the life span, and administration of age-appropriate instruments for pain assessment is a foundational clinical skill in pain care. The historical origins of pain appraisal are discussed with relevance to current practice. This chapter also introduces the concept of the basic classification of pain according mechanism class: specifically, pain as nociceptive, neuropathic, and inflammatory.
