Question 7789 — diseases

Summary

The issue of combating pain is a public health issue. Collective and individual pain prevention was in fact included in 2016 in the law to modernize our health system. The general practitioner's missions relating to the administration and coordination of care aimed at relieving pain have been specified, if necessary in conjunction with specialized structures. Finally, the missions of the care team integrates the issue of pain relief. At the end of 2018, there were 275 chronic pain management structures (CPS) in the territory certified by regional health agencies according to national specifications. The general management of care provision is currently collaborating with the learned society, the French society for the study and treatment of pain on various points intended to improve the operation of these SDCs. The recent creation of specialized transversal training in pain medicine aims to replace the old diploma of complementary specialized studies in the fight against pain. Continuing professional development also includes, for healthcare professionals, several training courses dealing with chronic pain. Finally, the Ministry of Solidarity and Health supports several research projects on the medical management of pain, including acute and chronic pain. In 2019, it provides funding for more than 30 research projects carried out by university hospital centers throughout the country, for a total of nearly 7.4 million euros.
