Diagnosis and therapy of all types of pain
Pain is a fundamental human experience and part of our day-to-day life. We make a distinction between acute and chronic pain. Acute pain is a warning signal for imminent physical damage or a sign of acute disease. Chronic pain has lost this function and represents an independent and frequently extremely complex disease.
The Centre for Pain Medicine stands for the highest level of care for the diagnosis and treatment of all types of pain in accordance with international criteria.
Understanding pain
Pain is a complex sensation that is similar to a feeling. Pain is always subjective, cannot be measured, cannot be proven and cannot be refuted. Since the 1970s there has been an official definition by the International Association for the Study of Pain that does justice to acute and chronic pain as well as to the biopsychosocial model of disease.
