Program Overview

We are honored to be recognized as a Clinical Center of Excellence by the American Pain Society. This award is a recognition and validation of the interdisciplinary model of pain management exemplified by the Stanford Pain Center.

The Pain Management Center at Stanford University Medical Center offers a comprehensive range of services for patients with acute or chronic pain.

Through the combined expertise of a multidisciplinary team of pain specialists, Stanford offers the most advanced treatment options currently available, in a supportive, compassionate environment.

Pain is a complex medical problem that can have profound effects on your physical and mental well-being.  Our goal is to help you decrease your level of pain and suffering, to return you to your maximum level of functioning and independence, and to help you restore your quality of life.

The Stanford University Pain Management Center provides care for thousands of hospitalized and ambulatory patients with acute, chronic and cancer pain problems. On these pages you will find information on some of the services we offer.
