The Institute of Medicine (IOM) found that when pain becomes chronic, it is no longer merely a symptom but a disease in itself, one that fundamentally alters the entire nervous system with significant psychological and cognitive correlates. Sadly, as a nation, we are failing to respond adequately to this pressing and widespread public health problem. What are we doing at Stanford to address this tremendous societal problem?
