Pacing: A Concept Analysis of a Chronic Pain Intervention

Pacing: A Concept Analysis of a Chronic Pain Intervention

BACKGROUND: The intervention of pacing is regularly recommended for chronic pain patients. However, pacing is poorly defined and appears to be interpreted in varying, potentially contradictory manners within the field of chronic pain. This conceptual lack of clarity has implications for effective se...
