Pain and Palliative Care
The Pain and Palliative Care department at Jehangir Hospital is dedicated to addressing chronic pain through a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach. Our team focuses on accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. We understand that pain management is crucial for enhancing quality of life, and we strive to provide effective solutions for even the most challenging cases.
Chronic pain is a prevalent issue worldwide, affecting approximately 20% of adults globally. In India, statistics indicate that 32% of the population experiences chronic pain, while in the United States, the figure stands at 11%. Our pain clinic offers a range of services to address intractable pain and improve patients' overall well-being.
Our department offers both inpatient and outpatient services, ensuring that individuals receive the care they need in the most appropriate setting. Led by a team of experts in orthopaedics, anaesthesiology, clinical psychology/psychiatry, and physiotherapy, we employ various interventions to manage pain effectively.
Treatment modalities may include nerve blocks, medication management, radiofrequency ablation, stimulation/relaxation therapies, intradiscal procedures, intramuscular stimulation, physical therapy, psychological counselling, and surgery. Our goal is to provide continuous medical assessment, ensuring optimal pain control and patient comfort, particularly for those undergoing surgical procedures.
We understand the impact of chronic pain on patients' daily lives, and our dedicated team works tirelessly to help individuals of all ages achieve a pain-free existence and improve their overall quality of life. We offer expert counselling and consultations to support patients in managing their pain and overcoming any challenges they may face, including those related to work.
Furthermore, our approach focuses on addressing the root cause of pain to facilitate speedy recovery and reduce hospital stays.
