Website: Non-drug Ways to Manage Chronic Pain
Offers Saskatchewan-specific information about accessing evidence-based non-drug therapies to help better manage chronic pain.
"In 2018, a CADTH Environmental Scan was done to understand the current context around access to, and the availability of, non-drug methods for people with chronic pain across Canada. The scan highlighted issues with access to non-drug methods for chronic pain, as well as the very limited guidance available to support clinicians and patients in making evidence-informed decisions about how to choose an appropriate non-drug method for addressing chronic pain.
CADTH subsequently completed a series of evidence reviews to appraise and summarize the research on the effectiveness of non-drug methods for the treatment of chronic, non-cancer pain. Information from these evidence reviews was used to develop resources in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Health Authority."
