Pain Management Devices; Beneficial For the Long-Term Treatment of Chronic Pain
Pain management devices are used to manage different types
of pain such as musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, nociceptive pain,
cancer pain, and others. These devices are particularly beneficial for the
long-term treatment of pain for chronic conditions; arthritis and cancer. Pain
management is a branch of medical science that reduces the pain of patients
with chronic pain. Acute pain is the onset of sudden action, while chronic pain
persists for a long time, due to which pain management is needed. Ablation
devices, analgesic infusion pumps, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulators,
and spinal cord stimulators are different types of devices available in the
market.
Pain
management devices can be used to manage and reduce pain in many areas
of the body. Pain management with device is hospital treatment for the
implantation, replacement, or other surgical management of a device required
for the treatment of pain. Over the years, the demand for pain management
devices has grown rapidly due to increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis and
increasing geriatric population. According to the (CDC), one in four (around
54.4 million) adults in the United States have some form of arthritis, and the
number is expected to reach 78 million by the year 2040. Moreover, five
European countries, such as the U.K., Italy, France, Germany, and Spain
recorded a high prevalence of peripheral joint osteoarthritis.
Pain can be controlled with the use of minimally invasive
procedures, radiofrequency ablation, analgesic pumps, or electrical currents.
Some people prefer to use certain treatments to help manage their pain in
particular areas. For instance, a common pain management device that is often
used for chronic back pain is an ergonomic desk chair that is designed to
minimize the strain on the back. There are many sources of pain. One way to
divide these sources of pain is to divide them into two groups, such as
neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain. However, the treatment depends on what
type of pain it is. Pain management devices include various devices that are
used for pain relief.
