疼痛管理

打印

Pain is a growing problem for physicians and patients. When inadequately treated, pain can lead to depression, 功能丧失, increased time to heal and lost workdays. 不幸的是, many patients think their pain is a normal part of their medical condition and something that must be endured. But there are things you can do to alleviate pain. Taking back control of your life is a reality when pain management is used as part of a holistic approach to healing.

What is 疼痛管理?

According to the American Academy of 疼痛管理, it is:

the systemic study of clinical and basic science and application for the reduction of pain and suffering
工具的混合, 技术, and principles taken from the discrete healing art disciplines and reformulated as a holistic application for the reduction of pain and suffering; and
a newly emerging discipline emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach with a goal of reduction of pain and suffering
