Summary

This is a prospective, pre post, pilot cohort study to be conducted in patients with chronic pain, which is defined as pain that lasts beyond 3 months. To accomplish the primary and secondary objectives of the study, three phrases will be designed and completed during three months

Detailed description

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of community-based pharmacist interventions on the quality of life of patients with chronic pain as determined by self-reported pain levels using an established scoring system. Participating pharmacists will enroll chronic pain patients from their normal practice to receive a consultation, which consists of an assessment of their current pain, a medication review, and education about their condition. Based on the information provided by the patient, the pharmacist will prepare a care plan, contact the patient's prescriber, and, in conjunction with the prescriber, implement the plan to help relieve their pain. Follow-up assessments will be done after 2 weeks, and 3 months.
