    AbstractOver the past three decades, health professionals have recognized that continued mismanagement of pain affect approximately one third of all hospitalized patients as well as many ambulatory patients. Various measures have been taken to correct this problem, including the development of pain management guidelines and standards by governments, medical associations, accrediting bodies, and international organizations. However, these issues remain problems with no clear solution. This commentary reflects the opinions of two practicing Mexican pain management physicians on these issues as they pertain to clinicians managing pain in Mexico today.
