Abstract

The pain clinic at the Chonbuk National University Hospital opened in 1983. We analyzed 3,212 patients who visited the clinic during the 10 years from 1983 to 1993. The patients visited total of 11,628 times. The most frequent age group was in the fifties. About an half of the patients complained of low back pain, and the epidural block was most frequently given as a treatment. We need more personnels involving in pain management and more equipments in diagnosing and treating the patients with chronic pain. Understanding and cooperation among departments under the basis of closer interdepartmental relationship would be essential for the further development of the pain clinc.
