Abstract EN
This study reviewed the published literature evaluating multidisciplinary chronic pain treatment facilities to provide an overview of their availability, caseload, wait times, and facility characteristics.
A systematic literature review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines following a search of MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL databases.
Inclusion criteria stipulated that studies be original research, survey more than one pain treatment facility directly, and describe a range of available treatments.
Fourteen articles satisfied inclusion criteria.
Results showed little consistency in the research design used to describe pain treatment facilities.
Availability of pain treatment facilities was scarce and the reported caseloads and wait times were generally high.
A wide range of medical, physical, and psychological pain treatments were available.
Most studies reported findings on the percentage of practitioners in different health care professions employed.
Future studies should consider using more comprehensive search strategies to survey facilities, improving clarity on what is considered to be a pain treatment facility, and reporting on a consistent set of variables to provide a clear summary of the status of pain treatment facilities.
This review highlights important information for policymakers on the scope, demand, and accessibility of pain treatment facilities.
