Our pain toolkit helps you personalise solutions
Every day you face questions about pain from patients. Because their pain is never one word. Haleon Pain Index informs us that 62% of patients would like greater awareness of how pain is individualised and 21% would like to focus on individual differences of gender and ethnicity. Our pain toolkit helps you personalize solutions through a plethora of resources.
Pain treatment protocols
Pain protocols is a stepwise approach to manage commonly seen pain states. Step 1 is pain assessment, achieved by asking the right questions and identifying symptoms. This is followed by step 2, identifying treatment considerations, and step 3, which is recommending treatments and planning a follow up.
Headache pain protocol
Headaches can vary in severity, ranging from something that can go away on its own to something that would need strong medication from over the counter. In some cases prescription medication will be needed. The pain protocol will help you make the right recommendation for your patients’ headache treatment.
Osteoarthritis pain protocol
As we age, the risk of a degenerative disease such as osteoarthritis (OA) increases. As well as pain, there is also inflammation of the joints that sufferers must deal with. The osteoarthritis pain management protocol will help you make the right recommendation for your patients with OA.
Musculoskeletal pain protocol
Affecting muscles, bones, joints, ligaments and tendons, musculoskeletal (MSK) pain can cause debilitating pain for sufferers. This can often be caused by acute injury rather than chronic conditions, but sometimes chronic conditions are the cause. The pain protocol will help you make the right recommendation for your patients’ musculoskeletal pain management and treatment.
Migraine
Migraines are a painful condition that is often accompanied by pain on one side of the head, sensitivity to light and nausea. Migraine sufferers are often known as silent sufferers due to how debilitating migraines can be. The pain protocol will help you make the right recommendation for your patients’ migraine management.
Period pain
A large percentage of women will undergo pain due to their womb tightening during their period. The amount of pain and discomfort it can cause varies, but it can cause immense pain in some women. The pain protocol will help you make the right recommendations regarding period pain treatment for your patients.
Dental pain
Dental pain is often cause by dental damage or disease which can affect the gums and nerves. It can be severe enough to impact sleep and normal day-to-day activities. The pain protocol will help you make the right recommendation for your patients’ dental pain treatment.
Low back pain
Pain in the lumbar region of the back can vary between a dull ache to a shooting and stabbing sensation. These often occur due to a muscle or tendon injury as well as degeneration of the spine. It is one of the most common injuries in adults. Lower back pain treatment can take many forms, so the pain protocol will help you make the right recommendation for your patients with low back pain.
Sore throat pain
Often arising because of a viral infection such as cold and flu, or smoking, a sore throat is very rarely caused by bacteria. Explore sore throat treatments for your patients with the pain protocol.
Children’s fever
Fever in children is quite common and is often caused by viral or bacterial infections. Fever (pyrexia) can also be caused by cold, coughs, flu, ear, chest and urine infections.
