Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Austrian Patient Report illustrates the preferences of Austrian chronic disease patients for the first time. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A standardised, self-administered questionnaire was used with items in the fields of general information, information flow, medicine and health, social and societal aspects and statistics. RESULTS: The most important item for Austrian chronic pain patients is a comprehensive discussion with their physician, which is even more important than a reduction in pain intensity. CONCLUSIONS: More efforts have to be made to educate and inform chronic pain patients adequately from the doctor's side.
