Any suffering that influences physical function, psychosocial function or other quality of life factors is regarded as a significant issue. Evaluation of pain and recording the effects of any treatments are basic principles of effective pain management. There may be use of both nonpharmacological and pharmacological treatments to alleviate the patient's experience of pain. This research provides an overview of the causes, nature, and function of acute, chronic, and neuropathic pain treatment.
