Why its necessary?
Pain is a major health issue throughout the world. The gap between an increasingly sophisticated knowledge of pain and its treatment and the effective application of that knowledge is large and widening. Both acute (Recent) and chronic (persistent or long term) pain is poorly managed( upto 80% cases) for a wide variety of reasons in routine practices by health care providers.
Many acute pains are a useful alarm signal that something is wrong. Most minor ones get better on their own or with simple treatment. Others may be a sign of something more serious, such as a broken leg. This pain is helpful because it means that you get treatment and rest your leg until the break has had a chance to heal.
On the other hand, persistent pain appears to serve no useful purpose, but has a huge effect on the lives of many people. The reason behind increasing suffering is “Sensitization”. Sensitizations are of two types. One which take place at site of pain is called Peripheral Sensitization and the other one which affects the brain and spinal cord called Central Sensitization. Sensitizations cause certain problems.
The problems are
Increased intensity of pain.
Increased area of pain
Increased duration of pain.
Decreased tolerability to pain.
Development of psychological problems like depression,anxiety,irritability.
Pain becomes non-responsive to routine pain killers.
Existence of different Pain Cycles which are very difficult to break
All above mentions problems convert a simple pain into a complex pain and that makes it difficult to manage.
