Evaluation of Referral Tracks, Diagnosis, and Treatment Plans in a University Orofacial Multidisciplinary Pain Clinic

Chronic Pain

A multidisciplinary pain clinic includes researcher-scientists, teaching staff, and patient care related to acute and chronic pain. There is only one university-based outpatient orofacial multidisciplinary pain clinic (OMPC) located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, that manages patients with medically complex conditions and includes dental specialists and dentists as part of the expert team. The objective of this study is to explore the characteristics of Edmonton’s OMPC, and to analyze and quantify the delivery, diagnosis, and treatment of orofacial multidisciplinary pain clinic service. Also, to determine a potential association between chronic orofacial pain symptoms and psychological distress.
