Excellent chronic pain guideline

[摘要] In the PEER simplified chronic pain guideline article published in the March issue of Canadian FamilyPhysician,1 the authors have created exactly the tool weall need in approaching chronic pain. They take care toconsider the perspective of family physicians and thebest available evidence. The 10 pages of their guidelineare succinct considering the complexity of the topic (andtheir 2-page summary for less patient readers accuratelyrepresents the longer version). This guideline providesme with tools that I will use to share decision making with my patients rather than trying to fit them intoa one-size-fits-all formula. My own pain in reading theguideline was 0 out of 10. Well done.
