Purpose: Our purpose in this study is to reverse the demographic characteristics, types of pain and treatments of patients who apply to our hospital’s pain clinic with pain complaints within 45 months. Tools and Methods: Our study examined the files of patients who applied with chronic pain complaints to the Samsun Education and Research Hospital University of Health Sciences between July 2015-March 2019. The demographic characteristics of the patients, the types of pain and the treatments applied were assessed as backward, cut-off study. Results: In 45 months, we found that 25288 patients with chronic pain were addressed to our clinic. 16046 of the patients were female (63.5%), and 9242 male (36.5%). The most common non-cancer pain causes (KDAs) were back pain, myophasial pain and neuropathic pain. The number of patients applied for the cause of cancer pain (KA) was 674 (2.7 percent). All patients were diagnosed with medical treatment and 3635 (14.4%) patients were subjected to initiative pain treatment. The most common methods of initiative pain treatment were identified as: injection of the point of trigger, intra-articular injection, transforaminal epidural injection and faset median nerve block application. Results: In 45 months there was an intense patient application to our algology clinic and 14.4% of patients were subjected to initiative pain treatment. We believe that these results of our center will be an important source of data for chronic pain studies.
