Differentiated strategy of treating patients with acute and chronic pain is developed. Preemptive analgesia is a priority trend in the treatment of acute postoperative pain. The most prevalent method of postoperative analgesia is prolonged opioid epidural analgesia carried out in intensive care wards and other wards by an acute pain management team. For treating patients with chronic painful syndromes, protocols of initial clinical and diagnostic evaluation are developed, permitting the choice of individual treatment strategy. Differentiated complex drug therapy planned with consideration for individual course of the painful syndrome is the basis of treating patients with phantom pain syndrome. Algorithms of differentiated therapy of radicular and spondylogenic pain are designed. Stage-by-stage analysis of treatment efficacy is carried out using modern electrophysiological methods. Realization of the proposed organization principles improved the efficacy of postoperative analgesia to 88.2%, prevented the development of postoperative painful syndrome in 35.6% cases, decreased the incidence of phantom pain syndrome after amputation of the limb from 63.3 to 31.6% and increased the efficacy of this syndrome treatment to 70.1%, and increased the efficacy of treating vertebrogenic painful syndromes to 82.3%.
