What disease does the pain department mainly see?

As a pain doctor, I want to talk about this problem. At present, the department of pain in many hospitals has not been well developed, including many tertiary hospitals, so ordinary people are even more unfamiliar with the department of pain. Pain department has become a marginal department in many hospitals, even neglected, but it is a comprehensive department covering internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, Chinese medicine, dermatology, radiology, ultrasound, biochemistry and other departments. As the name implies, a good pain department can solve all pain-related diseases, covering all pain diseases from head to toe. Headache-neck pain-the most common pain is neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain, which is common in pain department. There are many intractable diseases that other departments can't handle well, such as intractable hiccups, post-herpetic pain, pathological neuralgia, etc., which are also routine treatments in the pain department, and even many diseases in internal medicine and gynecology. The reason why the pain department can treat so many diseases is because the pain department has treatment methods that the actual department does not have. It can be said that there are 18 kinds of weapons, drugs-various physical therapeutic instruments-acupuncture-cupping-massage-bonesetting-small needle knife-nerve block-various precise treatments under ultrasound guidance-radiofrequency-CT-guided block or nerve injury, so the pain department can solve too many diseases for patients.

Now, more and more large and small hospitals have set up pain departments. The pain department of some hospitals has just started and is in the process of continuous improvement and development, while some hospitals are in a quite mature stage. It brings good news to patients with pain. Generally speaking, the department of pain is a department that treats almost all kinds of chronic pain in the body. So what pain symptoms can it treat and what treatment methods are there?

The most common headache is headache. Many people have headaches, such as migraine, headache caused by cervical spondylosis, muscle tension headache and so on. Another example is cervical spondylosis and upper limb numbness, low back pain, arthritis and heel pain caused by lumbar disc herniation; Tissue pain: such as myalgia, myofascitis, lumbar muscle strain, supraspinous ligament inflammation, tenosynovitis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, etc. Neuralgia: neuropathic pain such as head and face pain innervated by trigeminal nerve, chest pain innervated by intercostal nerve, lower limb pain innervated by sciatic nerve and herpes zoster pain; There are also various cancer pains; In addition, there are some diseases that do not show pain: such as intractable hiccup, facial paralysis, tendon sheath cyst and so on. The treatment methods of pain department, such as oral medicine, local injection for pain point injection, physical therapy such as nerve block, damage, polarized light irradiation, and some advanced interventional and radio frequency therapy technologies, are different in different levels of hospitals.

Pain departments in other hospitals also carry out painless gastroscopy, painless abortion and painless delivery. And cooperate with some painless curettage and painless hysteroscopy in gynecology. The feeling of pain is painful, which affects people's physiological function and quality of life. In order to meet the treatment needs of pain patients, hospitals at all levels make the pain department rise continuously.

Answer: Liu Na, Master of Medicine.

Welcome to pay attention to the life call order and get more useful health knowledge. Hello, the pain department has a wide range of diagnosis and treatment. Their main purpose is to solve the pain of patients, such as many patients with osteoarthropathy, advanced tumor and lumbar disc herniation. Their suffering is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the disease cannot be eradicated. The function of pain department is reflected, which can alleviate the pain of patients and improve their quality of life.

Which chronic pain patients can go to the pain clinic for treatment? The scope of professional diagnosis and treatment of pain department is relatively wide, including all kinds of chronic pain and its acute attack. Common diseases such as cancer pain, neuralgia after herpes zoster, cervical spondylosis, lumbago and leg pain, intercostal neuralgia, scapulohumeral periarthritis, diabetic foot, knee osteoarthritis, heel pain, etc. can all be diagnosed and treated in the pain department.

Personally, if there is any mistake, please point out that the pain department is a diagnosis and treatment department with cancer pain as the main part and other pains as the supplement. It mainly uses narcotic drugs, as well as steroid and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It is a systematic and comprehensive clinical department, aiming at more diseases or cancers, as well as others such as neuropathic pain and traumatic pain. At present, there are relatively few hospitals offering pain departments, and there may be more professional cancer hospitals.

They can see a doctor in the pain department first, and the pain doctor decides whether to continue to see a doctor in the pain department or transfer to the relevant department. Through the treatment of pain department, the pain can be relieved and the pain of patients can be alleviated.

It also includes unexplained acute pain, as well as various unexplained discomforts, muscle spasms, facial paralysis, intractable hiccups, as well as severe intractable menopausal syndrome and osteoporosis.

Nerve block and small needle knife therapy are mainly used in pain clinic.

As long as the treatment scope includes: headache, neuralgia, cancer pain, osteoarthralgia; Some pain clinics also do painless gastroscopy and painless abortion.

Pain clinics are not perfect in China. Because of the wide range of pain, the requirements for doctors are also very high, and they hold a certain all-round medical discipline. Including internal medicine, surgery, car accidents, etc. . . Generally, when patients in Grade A hospitals leave the hospital, there will be pain clinics to receive these patients, and the pain will recover and eventually recover. . . China has great potential in this field and needs to train a large number of talents. I am also familiar with this aspect. So go back to the mainland to develop. . .
