Question


  1. What is the clinical effectiveness of multidisciplinary treatment programs for patients with chronic, non-malignant pain in outpatient settings?

  2. What is the cost-effectiveness of multidisciplinary treatment programs for patients with chronic, non-malignant pain in outpatient settings?

  3. What are the evidence-based guidelines regarding multidisciplinary treatment programs for patients with chronic, non-malignant pain in outpatient settings?


Key Message

The evidence suggests that the multidisciplinary management of chronic non-malignant pain showed modest improvement for specific outcomes measured. No relevant cost-effectiveness studies of multidisciplinary treatment programs, for patients with chronic, non-malignant pain in outpatient settings, were identified. Three guidelines recommended multidisciplinary treatment for management of chronic non-malignant pain under specific circumstances.
