Pain Management

Management of pain is very important on both patient’s perspective and economic perspective. Pain is the most important reason people seek medical attention. About 80% of the doctor visits are primarily because of some pain problem. An appropriate pain management protocol should be made while treating patients who seek medical attention for pain. An extensive pain protocol plan includes a pain management care path flow chart, a pain assessment tool, an opioid Reference Table, an analgesics table, side effects management sheet, and a non-pharmacologic interventions for psychosocial, spiritual & physical pain flow chart.
