The treatment of @entity1118 @entity1 has changed over years. Anaesthesiologists treat @entity158 @entity1 , their skills in locoregional anaesthesia techniques and their pharmacological knowledge being a unique resource to reduce @entity158 . However, the International Association for the Study of @entity158 provides more and more scientific evidence that @entity1118 is a biopsychosocial event and that its diagnosis and treatment should be considered in a multidisciplinary frame. Nevertheless, in practice we can't deny the fact that there are several steps in the process in which the @entity1 himself decides if he wants such an approach or not. The 'motivating' phase is a very important pretherapy and basic condition to start up a holistic @entity158 treatment. Therefore, at the Ghent University Hospital @entity158 Clinic, we focused in a first step how to motivate our @entity158 @entity1 to take part in a multidisciplinary diagnostic examination, the second step is motivate them for an interdisciplinary treatment when it is indicated. We diagnose the four most important @entity158 components: the sensory, myofacial, autonomic and psychosocial problems. The @entity1 who is initially examined by the anaesthesiologist, will also be evaluated by the psychologist and the physician in rehabilitation medicine. By this way each component is mapped and a final (holistic) diagnosis can be made. In a weekly half-a-day meeting, the different specialists discuss the @entity1 and put forward an interdisciplinary treatment plan. On several moments, the @entity1 ' treatment progress will be discussed and redirected if necessary. So, we hope to obtain an optimal result and avoid overtreatment and too invasive @entity158 treatment.

XXXX therapy: an evolution from solo-interventions to a holistic interdisciplinary @entity1 approach.
