Pain Assessment and Presurgical Evaluation

Pain—the number one reason people seek healthcare in the United States—is a complex experience often involving physical, environmental, social, and psychological issues.

We offer tools designed to help efficiently and accurately identify underlying problems that, if left untreated, can significantly interfere with a patient's response to treatment. Our instruments are used by medical doctors, psychologists, nurses and other professionals to treat patients more effectively, lower healthcare costs, and measure treatment outcomes.

These tests can help:

• Efficiently assess for bio-psycho-social issues at intake and monitor progress through repeat administrations



• Evaluate for presence of depression, anxiety, and somatization—the factors most frequently associated with chronic pain



• Quickly assess psychomedical factors using an instrument specifically designed for use by medical practitioners



• Identify a medical patient's coping style and likely response to the illness



• Evaluate presurgical readiness



• Monitor pain scores in relation to functional status



• Assess pain patients in comparison to other pain patients



• Support medication management decisions, including the use of psychotropic and analgesic drugs
