Pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical attention, and is a symptom that is encountered by every physician, crossing all medical specialties. According to American Pain Society estimates, 75 million people are partially or totally disabled by pain and 45% of all Americans seek care for persistent pain at some point in their lives.A report from the American Medical Association Council on Scientific Affairs found that healthcare professionals may have inadequate knowledge of analgesic pharmacology and pain therapy, poor pain assessment practices, and ungrounded concern over regulatory oversight.
