- Pain Information
- Pain is a subjective and very individual phenomenon. It is a result of damage to tissues in the body and has both sensory and emotional components. Because pain has both sensory and emotional components, each patient will respond differently. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to accurately assess your pain.

- Medicines that relieve or reduce pain are called analgesics. They act on the nervous system to reduce pain. Analgesics give only temporary pain relief because they do not affect the cause of the pain. They either reduce pain or relieve it completely.
