Pain Medicine

Pain medicine within the context of neurology focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that cause chronic pain, often stemming from nerve damage or dysfunction. Neurologists assess the neurological aspects of pain, which can result from injuries, diseases, or conditions affecting the nervous system. They use a combination of medication, therapies, and sometimes advanced procedures to help manage pain, improve function, and enhance the quality of life for patients. Ultimately, the goal is to understand the underlying causes of pain and provide effective treatment tailored to each individual's needs.
