Holistic Pain Management in Palliative Care
Received Date: Jul 01, 2025 / Published Date: Jul 29, 2025
Abstract
Palliative care prioritizes effective pain management to alleviate suffering and enhance patient quality of life. This involves a holistic, multidimensional approach integrating pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and complementary therapies. Opioid pharmacotherapy and adjuvant analgesics are key components, requiring careful titration and management of side effects. Addressing psychosocial and spiritual dimensions alongside physical pain is crucial. Patient-reported outcomes guide treatment adjustments, while interventional techniques offer solutions for refractory pain. Ethical considerations regarding opioid use are paramount, ensuring adequate relief while respecting patient autonomy.
