Acute pain is a symptom enabling us to implement a response when faced with an attack. Chronic pain is complex and multifactorial. The care of the patient by a multidisciplinary team comprises the diagnosis of the pain and the putting in place of a treatment for each of its components. This includes physical reconditioning, adaptation strategies and work on the psychological elements relating to the representation of the pain.

The cross-disciplinary activities of pain resource nurses were provided with guidelines in 2007. Due to the development of their role in care structures and the ongoing organisation of the nursing activity, guidelines relating to their consultation activities were drawn up in 2016. These describe the circumstances in which a pain resource nurse may intervene and the types of consultation she carries out.
