Cancer Pain Management
Dealing with cancer is challenging, and managing cancer-related pain is crucial for improving the quality of life for those affected. The Global Pain Management Center, led by Dr. Rekha Gupta, offers compassionate and comprehensive pain management services specifically designed for cancer patients.
Understanding Cancer Pain
Cancer pain can arise from the disease itself, treatment procedures, or related to other conditions. Pain can be acute or chronic and may affect physical function, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Our goal is to provide pain relief that supports both the body and mind during this difficult time.
Comprehensive Pain Assessment
Our approach begins with a thorough assessment to understand the source and nature of your pain, including:
- Medical Evaluation: A review of your medical history, type, and stage of cancer, treatment history, and pain characteristics.
- Pain Measurement: Using scales to gauge the intensity of pain and its impact on daily activities.
- Diagnostic Tests: Imaging and lab tests to identify the specific causes of pain.
