Glossary: Acute Pain Management

Definition

The short-term treatment and relief of pain that comes on suddenly and usually has a clear cause – for example, pain from surgery, an injury or illness. The goal is to reduce pain quickly, help recovery and prevent complications such as long-term pain or delayed healing. Treatment might include medication, physical therapies and other supportive measures depending on the cause.
