Abstract:
Pain is the most common symptom prompting patients to seek medical attention and is reported by more than 80% of individuals who undergone their preliminary treatment. In case of surgery most of the patients suffer from mild to severe pain due to huge number of tissue damage. Thus pain control is an important part for the patients who had undergone some surgery. Good pain control is needed to prevent the negative outcomes such as tachycardia, hypertension, Myocardial Ischemia etc. and provide better medical outcome. Pain can be assessed by different techniques but the most widely accepted technique is Visual analog scale (VAS) method. This article reviews a number of paper published internationally over this emergent topic and gives a brief overview related to pain assessment technique, mechanism of pain management and newer approaches taken to control pain.
