1D Chronic Pain in Pregnant Women: Are They Under Treated?

Every patient has a right to be treated with dignity, respect and high quality pain management. Pain continues to be inadequately treated, and pregnancy complicates treatment.

This quantitative, cross-sectional correlation study used a survey to measure knowledge about pain, attitudes, and intent to medicate pregnant women with chronic pain.
