The Eugene McDermott Center for Pain Management at UT Southwestern Medical Center provides the most advanced therapies to treat chronic pain. We offer both interventional pain procedures and non-interventional pain management.
We understand that pain is influenced by biomedical, psychological, social, and environmental factors. Complementing our expert and compassionate care is a full range of state-of-the-art resources that enable us to deliver accurate diagnostic services and successful treatments. Treatment is aimed at alleviating pain, improving physical functioning, and relieving the psychological distress that results from pain.
UT Southwestern’s philosophy is to treat our patients with a combination of medical, rehabilitative, and behavioral therapies. Our patients often experience better results through this multimodal method than through using a single approach.
Acute, short-term pain is often a sign of injury or disease, while chronic pain is most frequently associated with conditions such as headaches, lower-back pain, or fibromyalgia, which is often characterized by pain in the back, hands, neck, shoulders, or pelvis and accompanied by fatigue or sleep disturbances.
We treat all types of pain, such as:

For people who experience both short-term or chronic pain, UT Southwestern’s physicians can design compassionate and expert pain management rehabilitation programs.
Our pain specialists use the collective experience of a team of experts to determine the right course of action. In addition to physicians who specialize in anesthesiology, neurology, neuroradiology, and psychiatry, the rehabilitation team includes nurses, neuropsychologists, and, as appropriate, occupational, physical, and recreational therapists. After a comprehensive evaluation, they design an individual rehabilitation plan based on the patient’s unique condition and medical history.
UT Southwestern has a caring staff of medical professionals who are committed to enhancing patients’ quality of life while also meeting the needs of patients’ families. We have a variety of informative and enriching support groups and other resources, which can be tailored to meet patients’ specific situations.
At UT Southwestern, excellence in patient care also includes pointing the way to other resources that have proved invaluable to others.
