Pain Therapy

Description of the activities

Our activity consists in encounters with patients, collection of data about his experience and painful symptoms, visits and eventual further investigation, to permit an accurate diagnosis.

Antalgic therapy implements pharmacological and/or interventional strategies.

– Medical therapies consist in the prescription of pain medication of different nature, administering various combinations, through infusion and other techniques

– Antalgic therapy interventional procedures are numerous and complex. Along with classical anaesthesia techniques, new specific approaches were introduced. A rapid technological evolution constantly provides new solutions.

In our centre we preferably adopt neuromodulation techniques, that is without causing nerve damage.

We prefer a step-by-step approach: starting with drug therapy, depending on the cause, we also perform peridural then subarachnoid analgesia techniques, infusing therapeutic substances in the vertebral canal, through external pumps or infusion systems. We also adopt complex approaches, through implantation of small electrical impulse generators under the skin. We also use continuous and pulsed radiofrequency technique, to fight pains originating in central and peripheral nervous system.
Diagnosis and choice of these complex therapeutic procedures are decided by visits with the pain therapy specialist. They are formulated and endorsed with a multidisciplinary team of specialists and always agreed with the patient, by providing adequate information and acquiring a specific consent.
