Popis: In the three months period between March and June 2016 we launched a survey on the AUIC website, open to the contribution of all members, to evaluate the most widespread habits and the most common practices (for therapy and overall healthcare) concerning pain management for patients with chronic skin lesions (CSL). We decided to evaluate this aspect of our clinical practice because we believe that the problems connected to “pain” in patients affected by CSL often becomes an issue even larger than the ulcer itself for both patients and their families. Furthermore, the theme “pain” is strongly felt at all levels; the body of knowledge in its regard is increasingly large and widespread and the means at our disposal to address this particular aspect of the care of CSL are continually increasing. For these reasons it seemed fair to focus the attention of all members on this clinical and healthcare problem, in order to collect useful information to improve the overall quality of care for our patients.
