Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9916407A2] A system and method for facilitating chronic pain management. A methodology is employed which includes determining the type of disease or chronic pain a patient is suffering from. A determination is made as to what treatments the patient has already undergone in treating the disease and/or chronic pain and what treatments the patient still needs. Based on the above determinations, the present invention formulates a treatment plan for the disease and/or chronic pain and employs historical data to forecast the likely outcome of the treatment plan, the length of the treatment, the associated costs and risks along with the log-term costs, patient function and the effectiveness of long-term therapy and the ongoing supportive needs of the patient.
