Overview

Managing pain is important for recovery after neurological disorders or neurosurgery. Reasonable pain control helps patients heal more quickly and lowers the risk of complications.

Patients experiencing chronic pain from neurological issues or neurosurgery may receive treatment in various areas, such as the surgical inpatient unit, the MSICU, or the Center for Pain Management at Tender Palm. These teams include board-certified pain management doctors, radiology technicians, and nurses.

Pain Management for Neurosurgery Patients

Adequate pain control allows neurosurgery patients to recover more quickly and lowers the risk of complications like blood clots and pneumonia. When pain is managed well, patients can participate in important activities like walking and deep breathing. The healthcare team at Tender Palm works closely with patients to minimize pain and discomfort.

Patients will receive ongoing assessments to ensure their comfort. They are encouraged to let the staff know when they are uncomfortable and to report their pain on a scale from 0 to 10. Patients and staff work together to set acceptable pain levels and adjust the pain management plan as needed.

Options to Control Pain:

Medication, relaxation methods, physical therapy, interventional pain management, radiography, dietary advice, and counseling are some of the many alternatives available to patients for managing their pain. Typical treatments include the following:

• Injections of stem cells and platelet-rich plasma are examples of regenerative medicine treatments that aid in the healing of injured tissue.
• Implanted infusion pumps that deliver continuous medication for pain or muscle spasms.
• Intradiscal electrotherapy, a non-surgical option for spinal disc issues.
• Nerve blocks include cervical and lumbar epidural blocks, as well as injections into the facet or sacroiliac joints.
• Radiofrequency ablation, which lessens pain by destroying specific nerve cells.
• Spinal cord stimulators that use electrical current to release the body's natural pain-relieving hormones.
