Hence, 36Tthe current study aimed at 31Tdeveloping a 31Tcomprehensive31T model for 31T36Tchronic pain management31T36T in the elderly.
Material & 31TIn order to 31T36Tprocess31T36T identification and developing a 31Tcomprehensive31T model for 31T36Tchronic pain management 36Ta qualitative study was applied.
