CHRONIC PAIN: A MENACE
Pain is one of the most common reasons for patients to seek medical attention and one of the most prevalent medical complaints in today’s world. Chronic pain has many causes and can affect any part of the body. Conditions most associated with pain include arthritis, headache, neck and back problems, cancer, neuropathies eg. Diabetic, chronic regional pain syndromes (CRPS), pelvic pain disorders, fibromyalgia, myofacial pains, herpes and trigeminal neuralgias.
Chronic pain can lead to depression, anxiety, marital & interpersonal problems, decreased productivity, unemployment, compromised social roles, isolation, financial burden, dependence, prolonged analgesics usage, decreased self esteem with behavioral changes adversely affecting mental and physical abilities, activities of daily living & ruining quality of life
Pain still remains inappropriate & inadequately treated. Although tremendous scientific & technological advances have been made, the knowledge & techniques are highly underutilized. Untreated pain destroys people’s lives. I have had patients come in who couldn’t work or sleep or play with their children. Good pain management gave them their lives back. It is cruel to deny people in pain access to effective pain treatment. People should not be suffering needlessly.
Thus, pain clinics are specialized areas that are now assuming the role of an essential service as they meet a need unmet by any previously existing medical facility. They help by simultaneously treating the physical, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, vocational and social aspects of chronic pain cost-effectively.
Our ultimate goal is to cure & care people suffering from pain, make them productive human beings for the society and increase their self esteem so that they can live life as normal individuals.

The Indian health care scene has a curious mix of paradoxes. Advances in cardiovascular surgery or high-tech investigative facilities inIndiaare on par with any advanced country, at least in some cities. Though skills, advanced equipments are available, still pain relief is not available to majority of its population. At least a million people inIndiasuffer unrelieved cancer pain. The number of people suffering other chronic pain conditions is anyone’s guess. Paradoxically,Indiastands high chance to become the health destination for pain management for the world, by using interventional pain therapies and very effective traditional therapies unique toIndia.
