Severe Noncardiac Chest Pain Responds to Interdisciplinary Chronic Pain Rehabilitation

Campbell et al1 recently reviewed the causes, differential diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) in a comprehensive and eloquent manner. The review is excellent in capturing the various psychiatric disorders implicated in NCCP as well as treatments ranging from cognitive-behavioral therapy, hypnosis, pharmacotherapy, care management, and multidisciplinary approaches. One other important level of care that should be mentioned is that of interdisciplinary chronic pain rehabilitation program (iCPRP) care.
