Such comprehensive therapy often【C7】______the work of social workers, psychiatrists(心理医生)and psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.
    This modern【C8】______for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only a【C9】______number of drugs available, and many of them caused【C10】______side effects in older people, including dizziness and fatigue.

解析 副词辨析题。句子主谓结构完整，空格处需要一个副词修饰谓语动词take。结合上一段所述，过去医生们对病人的病痛不以为然，认为是正常现象，而现在发生了变化。后一句具体说明了疼痛在医疗诊断时的重要性，所以此处选择seriously，意思为“人们开始认真对待疼痛”。
