ABSTRACT
A REVIEW ON ACUTE PAIN MANAGEMENT
Ravi Kishor Panwar*
Pain that is brought on by an accident or illness and goes away when the body recovers is considered acute pain. The discomfort that lasts longer than the period allotted for recovery is what we call chronic pain. Patients experiencing acute pain after surgery, as well as those who have suffered trauma or have a serious medical condition, are common clinical observations. The difficulty in documenting the total incidence of acute pain is exacerbated by this, and estimates may be too low.

Pain treatment teams often include of medical professionals, occupational therapists, and nurses. Alternative mental health practitioners and massage therapists may also be part of the team.
