  • Title: Program for managing chronic pain. II. Short-term results.
    Author: Swanson DW, Floreen AC, Swenson WM.
    Journal: Mayo Clin Proc; 1976 Jul; 51(7):409-11. PubMed ID: 6841.
    Abstract:
    A program for treating inpatients who had chronic pain resulted in significant improvement in 79% of them by the time of their dismissal. At the time of short-term follow-up (6 months), however, this improvement rate had diminished to 50%. It was observed that this type of chronically disabled person can return home and increase work-related activity without returning to previous patterns of drug use and repeated hospitalizations.
