Interventional Modalities for Chronic Pain Management
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Pain has been defined variously by varied authors. In present scenario, clinicians have realised that pain has psychological, social and cultural components, thus making it a biopsychosocial phenomenon. This calls for its multimodal and interdisciplinary management. Proper evaluation and discussion of the prognosis of various treatment modalities with the patient along-with setting of realistic goals for pain reduction, functional rehabilitation and mood elevation is the mainstay of therapy for chronic pain. Interventional pain management has been recognised as a sub-speciality of chronic pain management since 1996. Understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying chronic pain has led to revolution in the development of various interventional pain management modalities. Various limitations of pharmacological therapy on one hand and surgical techniques on the other, have led to interest in use of interventional modalities for pain management. However, they have to be administered cautiously, weighing risks and benefits for each case. This account is an attempt to review various interventional modalities for chronic pain management
