Types Of Pain
Understanding the different kinds of pain that you may be experiencing (and the terms used to describe them) will help you to better communicate with your medical team.
* Acute Pain comes on suddenly, usually from an injury or surgery. It can usually be treated and lasts for a short period of time.
* Chronic Pain lasts beyond the usual healing time for an illness or injury. It can last from months to years. At times it can go away completely, or it can remain constant. There are a few different types of chronic pain.
* Intermittent Pain is episodic. It may occur in waves or patterns. Mild-to-moderate intermittent pain is often treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), adjuvant medicines, and nondrug therapies. Moderate-to-severe intermittent pain may be treated with short-acting opioids (strong pain medications).
* Persistent pain lasts 12 or more hours every day for more than three months. It is usually treated with medicine that you take at specific times every day so that you get pain relief throughout the day. Moderate-to-severe pain may be treated with opioids.
* Breakthrough Pain comes on quickly or “breaks through” the medicine you are taking to relieve your persistent pain. It can occur many times during the day. This type of pain can be treated with specific medicines used as you need them to get quick pain relief.
* Pain Flares are short-term increases in one's usual level of pain. This pain suddenly erupts or emerges with or without an aggravating event or activity.
