Abstract

We organized Yamaguchi Pain Center in Yamaguchi university hospital to treat chronic pain patients. We are performing multidisciplinary therapy and treating the patients in hospital for 3 – 4 weeks. In this study we examined whether there is a differ-ence between elderly and young middle–age suffering from chronic pain. As a result, young middle–aged people were more painful than older people. And Eldelry people did not see psychological improvement of pain. At present it is difficult to change the psychological aspect the pain of elderly people during hospitalization. It is necessary to be able to receive support in the area after other hospital.
