Severe unexplained loin pain (loin pain haematuria syndrome): management and long-term outcome.
The intractable and unexplained loin pain of severe 'loin pain haematuria syndrome' (LPHS) causes great psychosocial distress and disability. ⋯ We recommend that patients be managed in a regional pain clinic, where a multidisciplinary approach promotes self-management of pain. Patients who were able to accept conservative treatment, and taper or withdraw opiate analgesia, had a better prognosis.
