VIDEO: Primary care is pain care’s front line

ORLANDO – Primary care physicians need to be on the front line of pain care, explained Dr. Paul J. Christo.

The most important reason is the sheer volume of individuals with chronic pain, according to Dr. Christo, associate professor of anesthesiology at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.

In an interview at a meeting held by the American Pain Society and Global Academy for Medical Education, Dr. Christo discussed the trends driving pain cases into primary care offices and how primary care physicians can manage those cases in a busy practice.

Dr. Christo reported financial relationships with Algiatry, Egalet, Golin Harris, Purdue, Rahm, and Trevena. Global Academy and this news organization are owned the same company.
