Excerpt
There are many options available to manage pain effectively. The goals of pain management are to relieve pain, improve function and restore quality of life (for example, to allow patients to return to work, get restful sleep, be intimate with their partners). Your physician will work with you to set goals that are right for you. The approach used to manage your pain will depend on the cause and type of your pain.
