AbstractThere is still a significant lack of treatment and rehabilitation facilities for chronic pain patients in Germany today. Most of all the treatment of low back pain and widespread pain syndromes or panalgesia is time consuming and complicated. The main problem of anaesthesiological pain clinics is the increase of these complex pain syndromes in the last years. The definition of chronic pain is a continuous noxious input modulated and compounded by the prolonged or recurrent nature of chronic state and further complicated by a multitude of economic and psychosocial factors. It is now clear that no one discipline or mode will suffice. Only a multidisciplinary and intensive approach will prevail, as discussed in this article. Unfortunately these multidisciplinary pain units are nearly not existing in Germany just as little as control of the effectiveness of pain treatment.
