These initial diagnostic steps are initiated in the waiting room, but phase-specific and stratified treatment selection requires having mutual understanding, trust, and belief through extensive discussion. The imperative acute treatment goal must be to treat early, but not too often, a fact represented by a 75% or better occurrence of pain freedom at 2 hours with two or fewer drug doses averaging 2 or fewer days a week.
