Abstract |
Since 1986, the pharmacological management of pain was mainly based on the WHO "analgesic ladder", with very few drugs available. The huge development of the basic knowledge on pain and its therapy, especially in the past 15 years, has made the "guidelines" of WHO obsolete. That's why, during the presidency of EFIC of one of the authors (GV), an international advisory board was proposed to review the document, but mainly to ameliorate the approach to the pain patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 20. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 August 2023.
All research outputs
#1,854,470
of 25,353,525 outputs
Outputs from Pain and Therapy
#55
of 488 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#31,884
of 327,628 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pain and Therapy
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,353,525 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 488 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,628 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
