Individualized Treatment Plan
 
     

Your physician may refer you to the Pain Clinic Of India for evaluation, for one or more specific procedures, or for ongoing treatment.  The treatment plan developed by the Pain Clinic Of India will be specially tailored to your condition and degree of pain, your needs and your personal objectives.  You treatment plan may include:

 
     
•
a single approach
 
 
OR
 
•
a combination of different types of therapies:
 
 
o
Medical therapies
 
o
Special procedures
 
o
Psychological therapies
 
o
Rehabilitation therapies 
 
 
 
 
 
Medications
  
     

Your recommended medical therapy may include one or more medications (analgesics).Different medications are prescribed to treat different aspects of your pain.   Your recommended treatment plan may also involve the use of investigational medications.

  
     

Medications used to treat pain fall into several major categories:

 
     
•
Opiate "pain killers" are often used to treat acute pain or cancer-related pain,
 
 
and sometimes prescribed for chronic pain.
 
•
Anti-inflammatory drugs may be helpful in alleviating pain by reducing swelling
 
 
and irritation.
 
•
Anti-depressants may be helpful in reducing certain types of pain.  They may
 
 
also be used to help patients sleep at night.
 
•
Membrane stabilizers and other adjuvant drugs are helpful for some patients in
 
 
whom pain is caused by abnormal electrical discharges in damaged nerves.
 
 
 
 
Treatments
  
     

Treatments for acute and chronic pain are generally quite different. 

 
     
•
In some cases, pain can be stopped or alleviated by a single procedure or
 
series of procedures. 
•
Sometimes, chronic pain is part of a widespread disease process, and the
 
specific cause may be difficult to pinpoint. 
•
Once we have identified the specific factor causing the pain, we may be able to
 
treat it so that the condition no longer occurs. 
•
In some patients, the specific factor causing the pain--such as cancer--cannot
 
be changed, but we may be able to reduce the pain or help the patient to
 
better copewith the pain through a combination of medical, psychological and
 
rehabilitation techniques.
