An anaesthesia specialist keeps a close watch over every patient in the Operating Theatre, offering patient care from pre to post-surgery. Our anaesthetists also support the Intensive Care Unit and Pain Service.  \n1  \nCoping better with pain  \nThe Pain Clinic aims to help you manage your chronic or recurrent pain, to better cope with your daily activities and improve your quality of life.  \nWhat is pain?  \nPain affects everyone. It can be felt, described, measured and treated. Inform your doctors and nurses if you are in pain before it becomes unbearable. It is easier to prevent pain from worsening than to reduce pain that has become severe.  \n Monitoring pain  \nYou will be asked to monitor your pain using a ‘Pain Scale’. This measures your level of pain from a scale of 0 to 10. With this ‘Pain Scale’, our healthcare team can adjust your medication accordingly.  \n0 2 4 6 8 10  \nNO PAIN HURTS A HURTS A HURTS HURTS A HURTS  \nLITTLE BIT LITTLE MORE EVEN MORE WHOLE LOT THE MOST  \n2  \nPain medication  \nThere are three groups of medication that can be used to treat pain.  \n Simple painkillers  \nSuch drugs include aspirin, paracetamol and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) . These drugs decrease the sensitivity of the nerves to pain and reduce inflammation.  \n Opioids  \nThese drugs work by blocking pain sensations in the spinal cord and brain. They can be administered in a variety of ways such as orally, intravenously or through the skin. Opioids are usually given for moderate to severe pain and require a prescription.  \n Drug-enhancing medicines  \nSome medicines such as anti-depressants and anticonvulsants have pain-relieving properties and may be useful in treating specific types of pain.  \n To keep your pain in check, please:  \n• Take your medication according to the dosage and schedule as prescribed by your doctor.  \n• Do not mix pain prescription drugs with over-the-counter pain medication without consulting your doctor.  \n• Inform your doctor or nurse immediately if your pain worsens or if you develop any side effects from your medication.  \n3  \nAlternative pain-relief treatments  \nMedication alone may not be enough to manage certain kinds of pain, with some medications more effective than others in fighting pain when combined with other methods of treatment. Such treatments include:  \n Injection  \nTo reduce swelling, irritation, muscle spasms and abnormal nerve activity that cause pain.  \n Nerve blocks  \nTo curb nerves called plexus or ganglion which cause pain to a specific organ or body region.  \n Physical and aquatic therapy  \nAn exercise programme which may be recommended by your  \nphysiotherapist to reduce pain and increase daily functioning.  \n Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)  \nA small, battery-operated device which is used to diminish pain by stimulating nerve fibres through the skin.  \n Psychological support  \nSupport and counselling combined with a comprehensive pain treatment to better manage pain.  \nSurgery  \nThis may be recommended if necessary.  \n4  \nOur specialists at the Pain Clinic aim to help you cope with the following conditions:  \n• Cancer pain  \n• Chronic abdominal pain  \n• Chronic musculoskeletal pain  \n• Chronic or recurrent back, neck and thoracic spine pain  \n• Fibromyalgia syndrome  \n• Headache conditions:  \n- Cervicogenic headache  \n- Migraine  \n- Tension type headache  \n- Other non-specific headache conditions  \n• Neuropathic pain conditions:  \n- Post-herpectic neuralgia  \n- Chronic post-surgical pain  \n- Phantom limb pain  \n- Diabetic neuropathy pain  \n- Ischaemic foot pain  \n- Painful peripheral neuropathy  \n- Complex regional pain syndrome  \n- Trigeminal neuralgia  \n- Post-stroke pain  \nNotes  \n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nNg Teng Fong General Hospital  \n1 Jurong","cbCaigTezgq7HmyU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigTezgq7HmyU","pdf",296232,8,"English","# Coping better with pain\n## What is pain?\n## Monitoring pain\n## Pain medication\n## Alternative pain-relief treatments\n## Conditions treated at the Pain Clinic","[{\"question\":\"How do you monitor pain in the clinic?\",\"answer\":\"Patients are asked to monitor pain using a “Pain Scale” that measures pain from 0 to 10.
