[Pain management in the rehabilitative setting].

Background: In rehabilitation medicine, differentiated concepts of interdisciplinary multimodal pain management have existed for years, or even decades.

Objectives: What does orthopedic pain management include? How do these treatment measures carried out in the curative and rehabilitative setting differ?

Methods: In addition to the content of rehabilitative pain management, further established models such as IMST (interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy) are discussed.

Results: The duration and intensity of the rehabilitation treatment differ from the models offered in topical medicine or in the curative sector. The treatment is also based on different questions or goals. In addition to the actual treatment, the aspect of complaint validation and socio-medical assessment is also typical for the rehabilitation sector.

Conclusions: Orthopedic rehabilitation through pain management provisos is part of a tiered and diversified system of treatment methods and models; A leap in quality was again achieved in the past few years through the introduction of behavioral medicine-oriented rehabilitation (VMO).
