Pain management requires careful clinical assessment and ongoing oversight.
Pain may arise from injury, chronic conditions, musculoskeletal issues, or underlying medical disorders. Management focuses on understanding the source of pain, its impact on daily function, and appropriate treatment options within a structured medical framework.
Pain management may include:
- Evaluation of pain history, severity, and functional impact
- Review of contributing medical conditions and medications
- Consideration of non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic options
- Monitoring for effectiveness, safety, and tolerance
- Adjustment of care plans based on clinical response
Care decisions are guided by clinical standards, medical history, and continuity of care.
