Abstract
Chronic pain can be persistent and recurrent, it has a long treatment process that includes rest and drug use for symptom relief, which, on many occasions, can result in unpleasant side effects, which makes it difficult for people to join Pharmacological treatment. Low adherence to treatment and possible side effects are directly related to the low efficacy of continuous medication use, making it necessary a new form of multidimensional treatment, acting not only on the symptoms but also on the biopsychosocial characteristics of the patient. Faced with this problem, the formation of a group for the relief of chronic pain at UBS Vila Marchi was conceived to address the biological, psychological and social plan of the patients through a program of stress management, patient and family education, relaxation and orientations of practices for everyday activities. In addition to qualification of referrals, the article also reports the physical activities and social interaction that provide better quality of life to the participants during the waiting period between the first consultation and medical referral to the rheumatologist.
