The NESPTM
Approach for Pain Management
Determining who should be referred for NESPä
Chronic Pain Management
Who IS a candidate for NESPä
-
Any patient who has had pain for greater than 3
months despite treatment
-
Any chronic pain patient who has signs of
dependence or addiction to prescription narcotics
-
Refractory chronic pain patients who have failed
surgery
-
Refractory chronic pain patients who have “tried
everything”
Who is NOT a candidate for NESPä
-
Patients with acute pain (treat these patients
aggressively so they don’t become chronic)
-
Patients who have severe primary mental illness
-
Patients who are not motivated to get better (high
degree of secondary gain)
-
Patients who are found to be partially or totally
malingering (faking or grossly exaggerating signs and symptoms)

cancer pain patients can be treated successfully without being in a
chronic pain program
