An unpleasant sensation that can range from mild to localized discomfort and which occurs due to tissue damage or illness. The duration of pain differs from short term known as acute pain to long term known as chronic pain.

The symptoms of Pain are weakness, fever, muscle cramps, abdominal pain, blood in stool, cough, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing and dizziness.

Description of pain such as sharp or dull, constant or on-and-off, or burning or aching might give the best clues to the cause of the pain. These descriptions are called as the pain history, taken during the start of the evaluation of a patient with pain.
Moreover chronic pain can occur in a various part of body and for different reasons so patients and their doctors must work together to recognize the causes and symptoms of that pain and how it can be treated in early stage.
Although technology can help doctors for diagnosis, the best treatment plans are personalized to the person, with efforts from healthcare team, who all have different training backgrounds and understand chronic pain. The person suffering from pain and his or her loved ones also must be actively involved in the treatment. Drugs used to treat Pain are Acetaminophen, Codeine, Ibuprofen, Morphine, and many mores.
The pain relief therapy market is facing a decline due to unfavorable changes in regulations and guidelines. Cancer patients, who are at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19, have led to the postponement of screening, diagnostic exams, and surgical procedures at hospitals and cancer treatment centers. This has resulted in delays in elective surgeries, screening procedures, and neurostimulation procedures, and the trend is expected to continue until late December 2020. Caregivers and hospitals should brace themselves for further disruption in the market for pain relief therapy.
