Abstract
Some estimate that 1.5 billion people worldwide suffer from chronic pain. In the United States, chronic pain affects about 20% of the people with an annual cost of $600 billion. The most common type of chronic pain is chronic back pain. Since pain assessment and management is not always successful, this Editorial put some alternative pain modalities in the case managers' toolbox.
