Pain Management is the clinical department dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of various acute and chronic pain conditions, primarily serving patients who suffer from long-term pain that is difficult to relieve with conventional treatment. Pain is not only a signal of disease but also a disease in itself; long-term pain can severely affect sleep, mood and quality of life. With the goal of "relieving pain and improving function," the department provides comprehensive analgesic treatment. Scope of Services and Common Conditions The department's main clinical scope includes: neck, shoulder, lower back and leg pain caused by cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation; neuropathic pain such as trigeminal neuralgia and postherpetic neuralgia; migraine and tension-type headache; osteoarthritis pain; cancer pain; and chronic post-surgical pain syndrome. For various pain conditions that are recurrent and refractory, the department provides systematic assessment and individualized analgesic plans. Specialized Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques Pain Management comprehensively applies stepwise analgesic approaches including pharmacotherapy, nerve blocks and minimally invasive intervention. Nerve block treatment can rapidly relieve localized pain; minimally invasive techniques such as radiofrequency thermocoagulation and pulsed radiofrequency can precisely target the affected nerves; ozone therapy and intra-articular injection can improve local inflammation. The department carries out standardized three-step analgesic management for cancer pain patients, helping them reduce suffering and improve quality of life. Who Should Visit and Clinic Guide Individuals with chronic pain persisting for more than one month, ineffective conventional analgesia, or pain affecting sleep, work or life are advised to visit Pain Management. When visiting, describe the location, nature, duration and triggers of pain in detail, and cooperate with necessary imaging and neuroelectrophysiological examinations to identify the cause. Pain treatment emphasizes comprehensive management; patients should cooperate with the physician in standardized treatment and avoid analgesic abuse. Clinic Notes For sudden severe chest pain, abdominal pain or other acute manifestations, first seek emergency evaluation to rule out organic emergencies before considering specialty pain treatment. Cancer pain patients and their families should correctly understand analgesic treatment and promptly report pain control status; effective pain control is a basic right of patients.
