Y1 - 2004 N1 - T2 - Principles & Practice of Pain Medicine, 2e AB - The ethics literature regarding pain management has typically focused on end-of-life issues involved with the treatment of patients experiencing terminal pain. But many if not most of the problems that arise with pain treatment involve problems with the treatment of chronic nonmalignant pain. A large portion of these problems can be traced to underlying problems with the ability of the physician to trust the patient. In this chapter I describe some of these ethical dilemmas, examine the underlying problems with trust, then propose how reconceptualizing some of the pain clinic treatment systems might serve to diminish some of the ethical problems.
