Palliative Care: Pain and Symptom Management

Pain is commonly experienced by individuals who are at the late stage of their terminal illness, a condition that cannot be cured or would like lead to death. It can be caused by the illness itself, side effects of treatments, and the occurrence of other illnesses. This can seriously affect their overall well-being. It can make them depressed, angry, or anxious.

That is why pain management is important for people who chose to settle with hospice or palliative care. There are various ways to manage acute or chronic pain such as:

• Assessing a patient’s pain level to determine the right and effective treatment for him/her
• Prescribing pain medicines that can be administered orally, by injection, or through a vein.
• Trying acupuncture to release tension and treat chronic pain
• Undergoing occupational therapy to help ease the pain when moving around
