How much do you know about China Analgesia Week?

  Pain is unrelenting, endless, and brings the patient a feeling of loneliness and despair! The World Health Organization defines pain as an unpleasant somatic sensory and emotional experience associated with tissue damage or potential tissue damage. To the patient, pain is a signal that the body is facing injury or disease and is an important factor affecting quality of life, reminding the patient that he or she should pay attention to it, seek early medical attention and actively treat it to prevent the body from suffering greater and more permanent damage; to the doctor, pain is both a response to trauma or disease of the body and a symptom of the disease.  Acute pain has a rapid onset and can be accompanied by increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, shortness of breath, increased sweating, dilated pupils, slowed gastrointestinal motility and other organ function changes, and can lead to changes in endocrine metabolism and immune function. Chronic pain, on the other hand, lasts more than 3 to 6 months and often leads to changes in physiological and psychological and social functions such as decreased appetite, disrupted sleep, depression and anxiety. Therefore, pain needs to be treated early.  The World Health Organization proposed in 2000 that “chronic pain is a type of disease”. According to authoritative statistics, 35% of people in Europe and the United States suffer from chronic pain, and the figure is only higher in China; about 57% of Chinese residents experience headaches of varying degrees.  In 2004, the International Society for the Study of Pain designated October 11 as World Analgesia Day and called on pain societies around the world to respond; the Pain Branch of the Chinese Medical Association designated October 17-25 this year as “China Analgesia Week”. Today is the first day of China Analgesia Week, and we hope that every patient who has experienced pain can get rid of pain and enjoy a pain-free life as soon as possible. Main treatment scope: 1.
