The Integrative Pain Management Program: implementing a multi-modal care program for chronic pain in a safety net setting

Proposal Summary

Socioeconomically vulnerable patients experience high rates of pain, barriers to care, and greater risks from conventional pain treatments. Multimodal, non-pharmacologic approaches are recommended as first line treatments for pain, but are often unavailable in resource-limited settings. In 2016, we created and evaluated a multimodal pain management program, the Integrative Pain Management Program (IPMP), at Tom Waddell Urban Health primary care clinic (TWUHC) in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco, a community experiencing high rates of opioid overdose. TWUHC provides health services for diverse, underserved patients with high prevalence of chronic diseases, chronic pain, and opioid use, many of whom are marginally-housed or homeless. We determined feasibility of the program and assessed the program’s effects on patients with chronic pain. We propose to present a 60 minute workshop describing the IPMP, briefly reviewing our research findings (recently accepted for publication in the Journal of General Internal Medicine and the Journal for Alternative and Complementary Medicine), and giving recommendations/having Q & A on how an organization may start a similar multi-modal program. We also have a 9 minute short film documentary about IPMP that we would like to show in the description portion of the workshop, so would need AV facilities if chosen. Thank you so much for your consideration!
