Pain Medicine and Palliative Care

Pain Medicine and Palliative Care

Pain Medicine is a specialized field focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of acute and chronic pain conditions. It includes a multidisciplinary approach that combines medications, interventional procedures (such as nerve blocks, epidural injections, and radiofrequency ablation), physical therapy, and psychological support to improve patients' quality of life. Pain medicine specialists treat conditions like neuropathic pain, arthritis, cancer pain, migraines, and post-surgical pain.
