What is the most suitable for pain department according to the latest national survey, China has entered the aging society ahead of schedule, in the elderly population over 65 years old, about 80% of patients have at least one chronic disease is more likely to induce pain than other age groups. Therefore, the incidence of various pains has increased. Pain in middle and old age has a heavy impact on both personal quality of life, family harmony, and society as a whole. You can tell us what are some common diseases that are suitable for treating pain as a disease: neck, shoulder, waist and legs (the body’s movement system), which often wear out during movement. The early stages of wear and tear do not show obvious bone and muscle changes, but only pain. These pains, if treated in a department other than a pain unit, may be treated by simply giving some painkillers, asking you to exercise more, etc. This large group of conditions should be seen in a pain department. If the joint is very painful and many hospitals say that it is not a big problem and that it is fine when you take painkillers, but it hurts when you don’t, I think this kind of patients must pay attention to it and suggest to go to the pain department for a comprehensive treatment in addition to taking medication. In fact, when the pain problem is solved perfectly, the blood circulation in the painful parts of the bones and joints will be better, and it will be good for the joints themselves. There are also some pains in the spine and extremities, such as herniated discs and cervical spondylosis, where patients are not willing to undergo surgery or do not have indications for surgery, and where medication alone is not effective, and these patients should also go to the pain department for treatment. Attention should be paid to the diagnosis and treatment of this large group of diseases. There are also many various types of intractable neuralgia. Such as trigeminal neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgia, sciatica, intercostal neuralgia, occipital neuralgia, etc., these pains are treated by the pain department. Another is cancer pain. When a patient unfortunately has cancer, we must not give up or belittle pain treatment in the process of cancer treatment. Generally speaking, cancer itself consumes the human body in a chronic process, but once there is serious cancer pain, this malignant pain stimulation can damage the human body more seriously than cancer itself and can quickly destroy the human body. Many foreign medical studies have shown that perfect treatment of cancer pain can not only improve the quality of life of patients, but also prolong their lives. Broadly speaking, the pain department mainly treats these three major types of diseases. What are our means of dealing with these pains? The pain department has a special specialty technique, which is a minimally invasive neurointervention-based approach to comprehensive specialty treatment of painful diseases. While other departments treat pain with either medication or surgery, the pain department treats pain without surgery, using special puncture techniques to nourish, decompress, condition, stimulate, and even destroy the nerves in question. The purpose is to reduce inflammation and analgesia, block nociceptive conduction, and improve nerve function, which can play a role in treating both the symptoms and the root cause of painful diseases. When you say “intervention”, do you mean inputting some medicine? In many cases, the treatment of pain can be done by inputting some special drugs through interventional techniques, but not exactly drugs, but also physical methods through interventional techniques. For example, in the case of upper extremity pain, a pain diagnosis can determine which part or which nerve is the problem, and the treatment in the pain department often reflects the idea that the most effective medication is delivered, as fast as possible, to the place where the organism needs it most. Like target shooting, the treatment is aimed at the “bullseye” of the pain. In addition to medication, neurointerventional treatment also involves physical methods, such as heating, freezing, and compression, to quiet the overactive nerves. Electrical stimulation can also be used. It can be said that the application of the existing treatment techniques can provide good pain treatment for 80-90% of patients. After pain treatment, do you feel nothing, or do you just feel no pain? We know that there are several types of nerves in the human body, including sensory nerves, which can sense objects, and motor nerves, which can perform movements such as running. There are also vegetative nerves, which govern heartbeat, digestion, etc. Pain treatment often only blocks sensory nerve conduction, so that the patient feels no pain but does not affect his motor nerves. Pain physicians have the ability to solve these problems.
