Pain Management

Pain management is the medical discipline concerned with the relief of pain. Pain management treatment involves controlling pain associated with various injuries after other treatment options have been exhausted. Physicians use injections, medications, muscle and bone stimulators, and surgically implanted medicine pumps to control pain.

Acute pain, such pain resulting from trauma, often has a reversible cause and may require only transient measures and correction of the underlying problem. In contrast, chronic pain often results from conditions that are difficult to diagnose and treat, and that may take a long time to reverse. Often, pain pathways are set up that continue to transmit the sensation of pain even though the underlying condition or injury that originally caused pain has been healed. In such situations, the pain itself is frequently managed separately from the underlying condition of which it is a symptom, or the goal of treatment is to manage the pain with no treatment of any underlying condition.

Pain management generally benefits from a multidisciplinary approach that includes pharmacologic measures and pain modifiers, non-pharmacologic measures such as interventional procedures, physical therapy and physical exercise, application of ice and/or heat, and psychological measures such as biofeedback and cognitive therapy.
