- Synopsis
- This report was undertaken by the Committee on Advancing Pain Research, Care, and Education, sponsored by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies. Initial chapters describe the purposes and scope of the study and introduce discussion of types of pain, its impact and causes, and the need for a cultural transformation. Subsequent chapters focus on pain as a public health challenge, treatment, and education and research challenges. The final chapter is indeed a blueprint, as announced in the subtitle. Completing the volume are a glossary and appendixes that include a summary of written public testimony, and economic costs of pain in the US.
