Surgical, pharmaceutical, behavioral, & cognitive pain mgmt


Consider the following three cases of clinical pain:
o Case 1: Various types of pain from a below-the-knee amputation resulting from diabetic neuropathy
o Case 2: Acute pain from an abdominal hysterectomy
o Case 3: Chronic headaches (non-migraine)
 Comment on whether surgical, pharmaceutical, behavioral, and cognitive treatment methods would or would not be considered appropriate for each of the three clinical pain cases. Discuss and defend your answers.
 Recommend an appropriate pain treatment plan employing one or more specific methods for each individual case. Describe each plan and provide support for your recommendations.
 Discuss the benefits of having all four (surgical, pharmaceutical, behavioral, and cognitive) pain treatment methods available to chronic pain patients in a traditional hospital.
