How Can Patients and Caregivers Improve Pain Management?
Effective pain management often requires a team approach. Patients and caregivers should:
- Communicate openly with healthcare providers about pain levels and the effectiveness of current treatments. - Adhere to prescribed pain management plans and avoid altering doses without consulting a doctor. - Educate themselves about potential side effects and manage them proactively. - Explore additional pain relief methods, including non-pharmacological options.
