Comprehensive Evaluation
Unless your physician refers you to the Pain Management Center to undergo a specific procedure or series of procedures, you will be scheduled to undergo a comprehensive evaluation.
Members of the multidisciplinary team will conduct a full physical and psychological assessment of your condition, including a review of your medical records, and X-rays. In some cases, supplemental diagnostic tests may be necessary to further pinpoint the cause of your pain. (We will, however, avoid unnecessary duplication of tests wherever possible.) We usually ask that you bring a spouse, relative or close friend to the evaluation.
The Pain Management team will hold a multidisciplinary conference to determine whether or not treatment at Stanford holds potential benefits for you and to develop and
individualized treatment plan.
