PainTracker: An Online Survey to Underline the Needs of Chronic Pain Patients.  

How do you treat a patient with complex chronic pain in a way that accounts for factors like genetics or their medical histories? For some patients, it is hard to find a treatment that aligns with their individual needs and conditions with the very few options available. The article, “To treat pain, you need to treat the patient” describes how researchers at the University of Washington  Center for Pain Relief created an online form called PainTracker to help determine the effectiveness of the patient’s treatments and improve their quality of life. If you would like to learn more about the PainTracker, go to Science Daily to read the article or the UW Medicine website.
