| | Pain management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pain management generally benefits from a multidisciplinary approach that includes pharmacologic measures (such as analgesics and narcotics), non-pharmacologic measures (such as interventional procedures, physical therapy, ice and heat), and psychological measures (such as biofeedback and cognitive therapy). | | | Pain management is the discipline concerned with the relief of pain. | | | Some practitioners focus more on the pharmacologic management of the patient, while others are very proficient at the interventional management of pain. |

| | These include designating appropriate pain medication for the day of surgery and the day after, starting round-the-clock dosing (rather than as needed), training staff nurses to recognize pain, and revising a form used by the physical therapy department to reflect greater awareness of pain management. | | | In addition, a pain management committee was formed, and this group developed pain monitors (standardized tools for measuring patients' pain and indicating the appropriate intervention). | | | Physicians need to develop pain control plans before surgery and inform the patient what to expect in terms of pain during and after surgery. |
