00:00The chronic pain in Italy represents, as we have seen, a problem, so I would say that we must focus on the two pillars on which a correct care of the patient with chronic pain is based.
00:19The two pillars are the multi-modality of therapy, which is not only pharmacotherapy, but is also pharmacotherapy, psycho-emotional support and non-pharmacological techniques, including those invasive and invasive techniques that are more properly related to the discipline of anesthesia and resuscitation.
00:42The other pillar on which a correct approach to chronic pain therapy is based is interdisciplinarity.
00:50This means that we cannot think of treating a patient with chronic pain only through a single professional approach.
00:58Chronic pain therapy is based on the therapy of pain, but the therapy of pain is carried out by a variably structured and coordinated team, composed of other specialists, such as the physiotherapist, the orthopedic, the neurologist, the neurosurgeon, the neuroradiologist or the radiotherapist in the case of oncological pain.
