Pain and symptom management at the end of life remains suboptimal.Pain physicians are uniquely placed to provide interventions for patients with difficult to manage pain.Interventions such as acupuncture, radiofrequency ablation, neurolysis together with regional analgesia including neuraxial techniques and spinal cordotomy may provide the patient with improved analgesia.
临终时的疼痛和症状管理仍未达到最佳状态。疼痛科医生在为疼痛难以控制的患者提供干预措施方面具有独特的地位。诸如针灸、射频消融、神经松解术等干预措施，以及包括神经轴技术和脊髓切开术在内的区域镇痛，可能会为患者提供更好的镇痛效果。
