Modern concepts of acute and chronic pain management.
Both, acute and chronic pain should be treated using appropriate pain management as they may cause several negative reactions and jeopardise the health or at least the quality of life of the patients. Nowadays there are many analgesics and treatment tools available to provide sufficient pain relief for almost all patients. Unfortunately there are still patients suffering from pain due to inadequate or/and inconsequent pain therapy.
