BALTIMORE, MD — March 15, 2002 — The American Pain Society (APS), the leading United States professional organization devoted to pain management, today released its new clinical guideline for treating acute and chronic pain associated with arthritis, a chronic disease that afflicts one in six Americans.
Introduced at a news conference at the organization's annual scientific meeting here, the new APS guideline strongly emphasizes that arthritis pain is best treated through a combination of ongoing pain assessment, medication, proper nutrition, exercise and patient and family education.
Developed by a prestigious panel of experts in arthritis pain management, the APS Guideline for the Management of Pain in Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile Chronic Arthritis is the first multidisciplinary, evidence-based clinical guideline for treatment of arthritis pain. It is intended for use by physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals who treat adults and children with arthritis.
