Pain Management

The Pain Management includes all the physical, pharmaceutical or instrumental acts that can soothe pain when it compromises the life quality.

Pain is an essential symptom to identify those pathological conditions that require to further investigate on the pain cause. Sometimes it may be necessary to act on pain even if the cause is still present (for complex case, for example). In order words, for cases where it is not possible to find a permanent solution, it is possible to soothe pain acting on pain itself, and not on its cause.

In 3000 B.C., the Assyrian people tried to soothe pain reducing the blood flow to the brain. With the passing of time, people started using plants of pharmacological therapies and finally some physical therapies and pain management. Only recently it was created a specific discipline for pain management.

On 19 March 2010, Italy disciplined this topic by issuing a law called “Disposizioni per garantire l’accesso alle cure palliative e alla terapia del dolore), amplifying the awareness in regards to this argument.
