Psychosomatik in der Schmerztherapie – Herausforderungen chronischer Schmerzen

Obwohl die Aufmerksamkeit unter den Ärztinnen und Ärzten in Bezug auf chronische Schmerzen wächst, gilt der Patient mit chronischen Schmerzen in der Praxis oftmals als komplexer, wenn nicht sogar „schwieriger“ Patient. Patienten mit chronischen Schmerzen sind damit dem erhöhten Risiko ausgesetzt, vorschnell abgewiesen und weitergeschickt zu werden. Gleichzeitig sind die therapeutischen Möglichkeiten oftmals begrenzt und die Therapieerfolge unbefriedigend.
