Edgar L. Ross, MD, Director, Pain Management Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), discusses how chronic pain differs from acute pain. Chronic pain management, explains,Dr. Ross, is effectively treated through a team-based approach that requires the patient to be an active participant in the treatment plan. The BWH Pain Management Center provides multidisciplinary care for chronic pain management, including experts in psychiatry, psychology, neurology, physiatry, and anesthesiology. Treatment plans address the physical and psychological components of chronic pain and rehabilitation.

Dr. Ross also describes research being conducted at BWH including clinical trials evaluating new pain medications, a mobile app designed to help patients manage chronic pain outside of the doctor’s office and a risk assessment tool that helps predict if patients should avoid the use of opiate medications.
