Cancer Pain Management

Cancer pain management focuses on alleviating the pain experienced by individuals with cancer. This often involves a combination of treatments, including medications such as pain relievers (ranging from over-the-counter options to stronger opioids), therapies like physical or occupational therapy, psychological support, and, in some cases, procedures like nerve blocks. The goal is to improve quality of life by addressing pain effectively. A multidisciplinary approach, involving doctors, nurses, and pain specialists, ensures tailored care that considers each patient's needs, preferences, and overall health while managing side effects and enhancing well-being.
