Preliminary outcomes of a pilot physical therapy program for HIV-infected patients with chronic pain.
This paper presents the results of a pilot project to integrate a physical therapy (PT) program into the HIV pain/palliative care clinic. It provides preliminary evidence that the pilot program improved musculoskeletal pain scores in HIV-infected individuals – notably more than the difference in pain scores observed in the studies of opioids.
