How Can Acute Pain Be Prevented in Cancer Patients?
While not all acute pain can be prevented, certain measures can help reduce the risk:
Early intervention: Addressing symptoms and pain early can prevent escalation. Multidisciplinary care: A team approach involving oncologists, pain specialists, and supportive care providers ensures comprehensive management. Patient education: Teaching patients about pain management strategies and encouraging them to communicate their pain levels. Proactive pain management: Using preemptive analgesia before painful procedures can reduce acute pain.
