PAIN SYNDROME: SOME DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS
Abstract
The paper considers different pathophysiological types of pain syndrome. It gives the definition of chronic pain and discusses methods for the objective evaluation of pain. The paper underlines that the choice of optimal therapeutic tactics for pain syndrome should be based not only on the evaluation of pain intensity, but also on its clinical pathogenetic type.
