Pain and Symptom Management
Pain and symptom management involves strategies to reduce discomfort and improve quality of life for individuals experiencing health issues. It includes assessing the type, intensity, and cause of pain or symptoms, then tailoring treatments such as medications, therapies, or lifestyle adjustments to effectively alleviate them. The goal is to control symptoms while supporting the person's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, often through a team approach that considers personal preferences and overall health. This compassionate approach ensures comfort, dignity, and better functioning despite illness or health challenges.
