Pain disease is a worldwide problem.The prevalence of chronic pain in developed and developing countries has been reported in some published research. However, little knowledge of situation of pain clinic in Tibet is known. Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital established the first pain clinic in Tibet. This study collected and analyzed the data of medical records of pain clinic in Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital from September 2017 to August 2018. The results showed that the total amounts of patients visiting pain clinic were very small, the most common pain diseases were postherpetic neuralgia and sciatica, and more female patients visited the pain clinic than male patients. All these results indicate that the hospital and government need to pay more attention to the development and promotion of pain medicine in Tibet to make Tibetans being accessed to high-quality pain clinic service.
疼痛疾病是一个全球性问题。一些已发表的研究报告了发达国家和发展中国家慢性疼痛的患病率。然而，关于西藏疼痛诊所的情况却知之甚少。西藏自治区人民医院在西藏设立了首个疼痛诊所。本研究收集并分析了西藏自治区人民医院2017年9月至2018年8月疼痛诊所的病历数据。结果显示，前往疼痛诊所就诊的患者总数很少，最常见的疼痛疾病是带状疱疹后神经痛和坐骨神经痛，且就诊的女性患者多于男性患者。所有这些结果表明，医院和政府需要更加关注西藏疼痛医学的发展和推广，以使藏族民众能够获得高质量的疼痛诊所服务。
