Abstract

Coping strategies are necessary to deal with pain, one of the most disabling conditions. Treatments are often refractory, and the elaboration of existential meaning is necessary to live with residual pain. The objective of this study was to discuss the relevance of the meaning of life in coping with refractory chronic neuropathic facial pain according to singular cases. Each patient is unique and needs a singular approach to understand and treat the pain phenomenon. Self-transcendence, existential issues and philosophical values are central concepts to assess chronic conditions and should be highlighted in medical practice these days.

摘要

应对策略对于处理疼痛这一最具致残性的病症之一是必要的。治疗往往难以奏效，而阐释存在的意义对于与残留疼痛共处是必要的。本研究的目的是根据个别病例探讨生命意义在应对难治性慢性神经性面部疼痛中的相关性。每个患者都是独特的，需要一种独特的方法来理解和治疗疼痛现象。自我超越、存在问题和哲学价值观是评估慢性病的核心概念，如今在医疗实践中应予以重视。
