About Pain

Pain is the single most common reason why an individual consults a medical professional. The European Pain Federation EFIC® state that, whereas acute pain may reasonably be considered a symptom of disease or injury, chronic and recurrent pain is a specific healthcare problem, a disease in its own right. Pain and especially chronic pain can have a significant negative impact on the quality of life for patients and their loved ones.

This section provides you with an overview of current pain management, comprising the different types of pain and their diagnosis and treatment. Healthcare professionals can find more information on Grünenthal’s analgesic product range in the product section.
