[Development of pain resource nurses: towards a national cooperation protocol].

Improving access to specialized pain management centers for the 20% of French people suffering from chronic pain is a major challenge for our healthcare system. Less than 3% of these people receive appropriate care in one of the Chronic Pain Centers (SDC) in France. The current care offer is therefore not sufficient despite the constant increase in the number of SDC.

[Territorial resources and access to care in the case of chronic pain].

To respond to the complexity of the management of patients with chronic pain, an adapted and structured biopsychosocial approach is necessary. Created and managed by committed caregivers, regulated and financed by decision-making bodies, chronic pain assessment and treatment centres form part of the patient care pathway.

Adherence of French GPs to chronic neuropathic pain clinical guidelines: results of a cross-sectional, randomized, "e" case-vignette survey.

Background And Aims: The French Pain Society published guidelines for neuropathic pain management in 2010. Our aim was to evaluate the compliance of GPs with these guidelines three years later.

Methods: We used "e" case vignette methodology for this non interventional study.
