Abstract

The Internet is rapidly becoming a part of the pain practitioner’s arsenal for bringing relief to patients. Along with the promise come a number of caveats for selecting the most appropriate technologies for a given practice. This article provides an overview of why the Internet holds potential for filling a gap in pain practice, reviews some of the fastest emerging uses of the Internet for pain, and identifies both merits and limitations the practitioner should consider when contemplating adopting an Internet technology for his or her practice.
