Pain management is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating acute or chronic pain through methods such as medication, physical therapy, nerve blocks, and psychological interventions. It is practiced by physicians (often anesthesiologists or physiatrists), nurse practitioners, and physical therapists to improve patients' quality of life. The field also addresses safe opioid prescribing and alternative, non-pharmacological pain relief approaches.
