Effective pain management involves a multidisciplinary approach and can include:
- Pharmacological Interventions: Use of analgesics like NSAIDs, opioids, and adjuvant medications. - Non-Pharmacological Interventions: Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, and relaxation exercises. - Patient Education: Educating patients about pain management strategies and encouraging them to actively participate in their care plan. - Regular Monitoring: Continuously assessing pain levels and adjusting the pain management plan as needed.
