- Summary: This article mentions the evolution of the hospice movement, but
notes that pain is still systematically under treated. Different types of
pain, such as visceral, somatic and neuropathic, are discussed. The authors
note that patients may be reluctant to admit the full intensity of their pain,
as they may fear increased pain indicates a worsening of their underlying
disease. The article discusses management of pain through the proper use of
opioids, and presents a case study of a patient whose pain symptoms were poorly
controlled.
