Treatment Options Clinical Pain
Chronic pain is an issue that all healthcare providers have to deal with at one time or another. The mitigation of pain is a major factor in whether an individual will be able to heal properly and in an appropriate length of time (text, 320). The three cases offered -- various types of pain from a below-the-knee amputation resulting from a diabetic neuropathy, acute pain from an abdominal hysterectomy, and chronic, non-migraine headaches -- have different levels and sources of pain which need to be addressed in different ways. Helping to eliminate the pain can come through the use of surgical, pharmaceutical, behavioral, and cognitive methods, and the proper use of these methods is decided by the type of pain, its acuteness, and where it is.

Originally, this problem was caused because the patient experienced diabetic neuropathy which, in itself, can cause acute pain (WebMD, 2010). The pain that the patient felt was real when they still had their foot and can be very real now that they have had the foot amputated also.

This could be as a result of scarring that is restricting movement of the area, it could be from decreased blood flow to the area due to a cut blood vessel, or any of a number of reasons brought on by the seriousness of the surgery itself. Of course there could be other issues which have caused the pain, but the main issue that any pain management professional would have to look at is pain of the phantom variety.

Moreover, fully three-quarters of the surveyed nurses reported that the lack of adequate assessment of cancer pain was a significant barrier to effective pain management, and almost as many (72%) reported a lack of clinician knowledge as representing yet another significant barrier to effective pain management (Vorthern and Ward 1992). Given the complexity of the pain experience, helping caregivers provide appropriate levels of pain management is particularly challenging. Many
Findings showed that medication was the most common treatment, followed by physiotherapy and no treatment. The majority preferred physiotherapy and no surgery was the third most popular choice. Their preferences and choices evolved from previous experience. They did not perceive their pain as severe enough to require surgery. (Mitchell & Hurley).

Pain Management of Obstetric Patients DEALING WITH BIRTH PAINS Causes and Management Intervention Two Sources of Pain Pain is classified into nociceptive or neuropathic (ICEA, 2014). Nociceptive pain develops from tissue, muscle or bones. It is dull, aching, burning, stretching or beating. It crosses through mylenated nerve fibers.
