Measuring And Treating Pain - Deepstash

Measuring And Treating Pain

  • Doctors usually measure a person's pain by the visible features like the severe reactions of agony and grimace, apart from a rating scale and even brain imaging. Other measures like heart and breathing rate also give important signals to consider.
  • Painkillers like Aspirin (now replaced by ibuprofen) are usually prescribed for pain, and paracetamol is given when there is no inflammation.
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, physiotherapy and surgery are other treatments, often used as a combination with the pills.
