1. A method for risk stratification of potential chronic pain patients in a population, comprising:

  • selecting direct medical indicia associated with chronic pain that serve as independent variables;

    selecting indirect medical indicia associated with chronic pain that serve as independent variables;

    selecting non-medical indicia associated with chronic pain that serve as independent variables;

    selecting a chronic pain indication that serves as a dependent variable;

    creating a chronic pain risk model using direct medical indicia, indirect medical indicia, non-medical indicia, and chronic pain indication;

    applying the chronic pain risk model to potential chronic pain patients to create a patient mathematical expression for each potential chronic pain patient; and

    , stratifying potential chronic pain patients by comparing each patient mathematical expression to selection objectives.
