All the patients referred to the APS team were enrolled. A standardized data collection template of demographic data, medical history, pain diagnosis, associated diseases, duration of treatment, number of visits by the APS team and type of treatment was employed. The primary outcomes were pain scores before, after treatment and the number of follow-ups. The patients were visited by APS at regular intervals and divided by the number of visits by APS team into several groups: group 1 (one visit and up to 2 follow ups); group 2 (3 to 4 follow-ups); group 3 (5 to 9 follow-ups); group 4 (10 to 19 follow-ups); group 5 (&gt;20 followups).

Of these, 48% of patients reported a pain score of moderate to severe pain and 27% reported severe pain on the first assessment. On the last examination before discharge, they reported 25\u201330% less pain (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.002). The median NRS (numerical rating scores) decreased significantly from 9.6 (95% confidence interval, 8.7\u20139.9) to 6.3 (6.1\u20137.4) for the severe pain (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.0001), from 3.8 (3.2\u20134.3) to 2.4 (1.8\u20132.9) for the moderate pain.
