Abstract
Many of the tools that can be used to alleviate chronic pain in our patients are readily available to all practitioners, but they are not used with appropriate frequency. Thus, the immediate future of chronic pain therapy is simply to do more of what we are already doing. There are also drugs and techniques currently used in human medicine that may be available to us in the near future and many drugs and techniques on the research bench that might make it to our patients in the more distant future. Because of the magnitude of the chronic pain problem in human medicine, research on the treatment of chronic pain is intense, and the hope is that both human and veterinary patients will eventually benefit.
