Pain management is central to how medicine reduces suffering when pathology or injury proves resistant to treatment, or when the cause of persistent pain isn’t fully understood.
Treatment techniques for chronic pain include interventional procedures, pharmacological measures such as anticonvulsants, antidepressants and analgesics, physical exercise and therapy, and psychological approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and biofeedback.
This course explains what pain management means, introduces pain clinics and the specialists who work within them, and covers why people engage in pain management and the benefits it can bring, including natural and alternative treatment options. It is useful for both pain management professionals and patients experiencing chronic pain.
