AB  - KEY  POINTSPain  has  an  astounding  impact  on  individuals,  their  families,  and  society  as  a  whole.  Pain  affects  over  100  million  Americans,  costing  society  over  0.5  trillion  dollars  per  year.Proper  assessment  of  chronic  pain  starts  with  a  detailed  history  and  physical  examination  that  supports  the  development  of  a  differential  diagnosis.  Laboratory  tests,  electrodiagnostic  tests,  and  radiologic  imaging  are  meant  to  support  or  refute  that  diagnosis.  These  tests  should  not  be  used  for  broad  screening.Pain  is  a  subjective  experience  that  impacts  multiple  dimensions  of  physical,  psychological,  and  social  functioning.  Capturing  these  domains  through  patient-reported  outcome  measurement  can  aid  in  clinical  assessment,  treatment  decision  making,  and  longitudinal  monitoring.
