What does the Transitional Pain Service (TPS) do?
The TPS clinic helps patients deal with pain after surgery in the transition from hospital to home. We also work with patients who take high dose opioids and need help with medication management and opioid weaning.
We offer a range of services to help patients manage their pain problems according to their unique needs.
Our multidisciplinary team works with patients and their families to develop a pain management plan that takes advantage of one or more of the following services available at the clinic: medication management, interventional pain procedures, psychotherapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and patient education.
How long are patients usually followed by the TPS clinic?
Patients are usually followed for 6 weeks up to 6 months by TPS clinicians. The exact duration depends on each patient's needs and progress.
