Figure 1).

A Age distribution for neuropathic pain (NeP) patients completing one year of follow-up at the Neuropathic Pain Clinic (NePC; Calgary, Alberta). The distribution was bell shaped and most patients were 40 to 70 years of age. B The total number of physicians seen for pain management (including their primary physician at the NePC) of patients maintaining follow-up at the NePC decreased over the course of one year (matched ANOVA: *P<0.05). C The number of medications used for pain before the initial NePC visit was high, averaging nearly five medications for each patient. D At the completion of each NePC visit, the number of medications used decreased over time, with a significant medication number decrease by the end of visit 3 (matched ANOVA: *P<0.05)
