In November 2009, the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI) released a guideline on the assessment and management of chronic pain in adults and physiologically mature adolescents 16 to 18 years of age. The guideline was developed by a multidisciplinary work group and included a literature search and review of evidence. Table 1 summarizes the evidence for level I and II treatments for chronic pain.
