Pain Management Strategies and Treatment
Pain Management FAQ
What are the treatment options for chronic pain?
Treatment aims to reduce pain and the impact of chronic pain on quality of life, mood, and function. A wide range of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological management strategies are available for chronic pain. Where possible, treatment options should be guided by any known underlying chronic pain condition (s).
What is a pain management programme?
Some people receiving treatment at a pain clinic may be offered a pain management programme (PMP). The aim of a PMP is to improve your quality of life, despite your pain, rather than reducing your pain. PMPs are usually delivered through a series of group sessions with other people with persistent pain, in a friendly environment.
How does a doctor manage pain?
Managing pain is not something that a doctor does to you or for you. You and the doctor (or other health professional) work together to find what works best to control your pain. Medicines, physical treatments, psychological support, injections and other interventions may help to manage pain.
Where can I find a pain management programme?
Referral to a Pain Management Programme is usually via your local pain clinic. The British Pain Society has produced a publication on Pain Management Programmes, which can be found here.
