Pain Management for End of Life
Prior to getting started with our services, it always important for us to know and understand what our patients want so we can create a suitable care plan. And it is no surprise that managing pain is what we often hear from them. A recent study from New England Journal of Medicine found that most patients who receive specialized hospice care for pain management live longer, lesser instances of depression, and achieve a better quality of life during the course of illness than those not getting hospice or palliative care.
Open conversations about pain early and often
An effective pain management starts with a conversation about the patient’s current goals and preferences during the process of care. Dealing with pain and pain medication varies. During this time, patients are asked to honestly share their current level and tolerance for pain, and how they want our hospice care providers to respond to their pain in the future. If a patient fails to communicate accurately, our skilled hospice team may work with their families to identify pain and co-manage treatment. We can also discuss with their personal doctor or physician to help the patients get the right balance of medications and therapies.
Staying ahead of the pain
It is important for patients and families to understand how and when to take medications to better control or manage pain. Most pain medications require strict schedule and exactly as prescribed regardless of current levels of pain for better results.
Questions to consider about pain management
- Will my pain medications affect my body functions?
