Pain Management Specialists
Pain management
is the process of providing medical care that
reduces pain
. Mild to moderate pain can usually be treated with common analgesic (
pain killers
) medications, such as aspirin or paracetamol. For
chronic pain
(long-term) or
severe pain
, opiates such as morphine are often used, sometimes together with analgesics. Steroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be used when the pain is related to inflammation. Antidepressants can improve the effect of some pain medications, and affect the brain’s perception of pain.
Massage
,
physiotherapy
,
acupuncture
and
acupressure
are also useful for pain control in some patients.
