SIG Interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy
For the SIG founding meeting in St.Gallen, interested parties met for the first time on 24.05.2012 on the topic of Interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy. Expectations of the SIG were collected and, based on these, goals were derived and a first work assignment was formulated.
Aim:
- To put a stop to the currently often misunderstood, sometimes even abusive use of the term “multimodal pain therapy” and to find a common definition.
- To conduct a survey in Switzerland about the existing offers.
- To develop quality criteria (with regard to structural/process and outcome quality) for multimodal programs in Switzerland.
- Collaboration of the institutions offering MMST on a national and international level.
