Abstract
A multidisciplinary algology team was formed to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of complex head and neck pain disorders. The standard patient evaluation includes a history and physical, surface electromyography, Minnesota Multi-phasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), brief psychiatric interview, dental/occlusal analysis, a postural/musculoskeletal examination; and necessary diagnostic imaging. Clinicians meet in conference after each clinic session. Organic and psychiatric findings are compiled and a differential diagnosis is made. Treatment recommendations are outlined and a review of the evaluation and the therapeutic plan are forwarded to the referring doctor. A typical conference discussion is presented here.
