The mission of the UC San Diego Center for Pain Medicine (CPM) is to:
Our multidisciplinary team of pain specialists provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of chronic pain (including spine, musculoskeletal, nerve, and joint pain), headache, cancer pain, spasticity and more. The UC San Diego Center for Pain Medicine offers the most advanced pain treatment options available in a compassionate and supportive environment.
Pain is a major problem in clinical medicine with profound effects on physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. It is estimated that 3 of 4 patients seek the help of a medical professional because of pain, yet instruction on pain management in our medical schools has historically had a low priority, which has lead to a poor understanding and the under treatment of pain. Recent advances in our understanding of pain, headache, and spasticity have lead to new therapies and technologies to reduce pain and suffering, return maximum level of function and independence, and restore quality of life.
UC San Diego Health offers the most advanced pain treatment options available.
