Acute Pain Treatment
For acute pain, a team of physicians offers the latest in patient-centered treatment including:
- IV-PCA
- Epidural and continuous nerve blocks
- Ultrasound-guided blocks
Epidural Analgesia
- Highly effective and recommended for larger surgeries including orthopedics, lung, and abdominal surgery
- Through a needle placed in your back temporarily, a catheter is placed so that medication can be continuously given.
- Although this involves a procedure before surgery, it often has better outcomes than IV-PCA alone.
- This too is connected to a computer and pump to allow for extra doses in a controlled, safe manner.
Regional Anesthesia
Another method of pain relief is the administration of a nerve block and/or placement of a catheter near a nerve with continuous infusion of pain medicine.
Chronic Pain Treatment
Chronic Pain conditions are variable and often complex. For those that suffer from chronic pain, the Weill Cornell Pain Medicine Center may be able to help. To find out about the conditions we treat and the services we offer, please visit the Division of Pain Management’s homepage.
Anesthesiology And Pain Management
The Magic Behind Freedom For Pain
Anesthesiology (anesthesia) is a diversified specialty requiring physicians to draw upon their knowledge of pharmacy and physiology and to utilize their technical skills in the provision of perioperative care, critical care, emergency care and pain management.
Anesthesiology is a specialty and is involved in the following settings:
- A physical examination
- An evaluation of the patient’s clinical results
- A Risk assessment profile
- Surgical departments
- Intensive care medicine
- Out-patient clinics
- Emergency medicine
- In the ICU, they care for critically ill patients by providing airway management, cardiac and pulmonary resuscitation, advanced life support and pain control
- For surgery, anesthesiologists evaluate the patient’s overall health, plan techniques, choose agents, administer anesthesia, and monitor the effects of anesthesia and surgery on the patient’s vital functions
- Our team of anesthetists at Abdali Hospital provide Anesthesia and Analgesia for patients undergoing surgery, diagnostic and radiation procedures.

Treatment
Advance medications, nerve ablations using Chemical Sympathectomy and Radio Frequency Ablations (RFA) are very helpful in long term relief of pain. Advanced modalities like Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) and intrathecal pumps are implanted in patients of refractory chronic pain where other modalities have failed. Cancer pains are controlled through medication, CT/USG and C-Arm guided chemical Neurolysis and RFA with close follow-up for end of life care
