Treating pain is important. Unrelieved pain can cause anxiety,
depression, feelings for helplessness, as well as disruptions
in daily activities, appetite, and sleep. |
|
|
|
|
|
An effective approach to relieving chronic pain may include a
combination of the following treatment strategies:
 |
drug therapies |
|
|
psychological therapies |
|
|
rehabilitative therapies |
|
|
anesthesiological therapies |
|
|
neurostimulatory therapies |
|
|
complementary and alternative medicine |
|
|
surgical therapies (in rare cases) |
|
|
lifestyle changes |
[Use the "Treatments" drop-down menu on the top navigation bar
to get more information about each therapy.]
In many cases, this strategy requires the involvement of several types
of healthcare professionals--i.e., a multidisciplinary team.
