Pain is a big problem in our society. It is estimated that about one-third of the population is suffering at any given time. Any type of pain is the most common cause of doctor consultation. It is the main symptom of many medical conditions, seriously interfering with quality of life and general function.

Therefore, management is an extremely important part of health care, because people who are forced to continue living in extreme pain are often frustrated and have poor treatment outcomes.

Some types of pain are still not truly understood, and up to one-third of the cases are unknown.

Here are some of our understanding of pain:

* About 20% of the people are unchanged.

* Back pain is the most common pain.

* Most patients with chronic conditions have at least 3 years of pain.

* As can be expected, the incidence increases with age.

* Women report more pain than men.

* Only 70% of patients seek professional help.

Pain management

Modern management courses should be multidisciplinary, combining medical practitioners, acupuncturists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, clinical psychologists and occupational therapists.

1. Narcotics are often used to treat severe pain, but anesthetics have the potential for side effects and addiction, so patients and caregivers must weigh the pain level and these risks in the management process.

Many studies have found that certain complementary therapies are effective in management.

Massage therapy relieves pain, soothes stiff muscles and reduces inflammation and swelling.

Psychological pain management teaches people the skills to deal with disease. Studies have shown that having realistic, beneficial ideas is an important part of management.

5. Natural pain relief is a substitute for drugs and drugs based on chemicals and other synthetic drugs. Herbs have been used to relieve pain for centuries, but many have not been extensively studied. Some patients with natural remission may have some allergic reactions, but these reactions can be easily controlled or prevented by skin tests before natural pain relief is used.

6. One of the pain management methods is the use of long-acting anesthetics and low-dose steroid trigger point injection and nerve block.

7. NSAID drugs not only relieve pain, but also reduce fever and inflammation. However, the long-term use of these drugs has real shortcomings.

8. Aspirin, paracetamol, ibuprofen is another commonly used drug for relieving acute pain.

9. Morphine is the main active substance in opium and is a very effective painkiller. Morphine will act directly on the central nervous system and is commonly used as a drug for acute and severe pain caused by surgery or severe trauma. Morphine can also be used as a relief medication for moderate and severe chronic pain, such as pain caused by cancer.

10. The TENS machine can provide short-term pain relief for many people. These machines are quite cumbersome, but at least they have no side effects.

11. Finally, there is a new way to go public, the distribution pain patch, which combines the heat-activated far-infrared heat technology with quantum energy, red ginseng and marine phytoplankton.
