“…Limited attention has been paid to the contribution of psychosocial factors in understanding the efficacy of nerve blocks for chronic pain [107]. IPM practice guidelines are conspicuous for the absence of a meaningful discussion on the relevance of psychosocial screening in the context of interventional procedures [39,[108][109][110][111].…”

The field of pain medicine has shifted from multidisciplinary rehabilitation to procedure-focused interventional pain medicine (IPM). Considerable controversy exists regarding the efficacy of IPM and its more narrow focus on nociception as an exclusive target of pain treatment. This topical review aims to examine pain research and treatment outcome studies that support a biopsychosocial model of pain, and to critique the clinical practice of IPM given its departure from the premises of a biopsychosocial model. A modern definition of pain and findings from clinical and basic science studies indicate that pain-related psychological factors are integral to pain perception. The clinical viability of IPM is challenged based upon its biomedical view of peripheral nociception as a primary source of pain and the potential of this viewpoint to foster maladaptive pain attributions and discourage the use of pain coping strategies among chronic pain patients. IPM should adopt a biopsychosocial perspective on pain and operate within a framework of multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation to improve its effectiveness. KEYWORDS

“…With regard to this latter item, two articles show the critical role of psychological assessment just before interventional procedures. The article on spinal cord stimulation has concluded that the process of determining whether patients are fit for the procedure should necessarily include the evaluation of patients' psychosocial characteristics 20 . In the article on radiofrequency, authors have reached similar conclusions 21 .…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Notwithstanding several studies pointing to a relationship between psychological aspects and pain, the scientific literature still lacks articles specifically addressing the psychological assessment process. This study aimed at answering to three questions: Why, when and how to refer painful patients to a psychological assessment? With this, we intend to cooperate with professionals of different areas by offering them guidelines about major indications for psychological assessment, what should be expected from this process and how to effectively refer patients.
