Description
This resource discusses how a multidisciplinary and integrative approach to pain and analgesia should be considered by pain practitioners who treat patients with pain. Some familiarity with the cultural background of patients and self-awareness of the provider's own cultural characteristics will allow the pain practitioner to better understand patients' values, attitudes and preferences. This knowledge of patients' cultural practices and their impact on biological processes, including the origin and development of pain-related disease, can help to determine response to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments.
