What to Expect from your doctor

Patients will be carefully evaluated and offered a pain treatment plan that will provide the greatest amount of comfort. An accurate assessment of pain is essential in determining the appropriate treatment, and this will require the active involvement of the patient. Often, fear, anxiety and depression can magnify pain felt by a patient, and by improving overall mental health, these symptoms can be minimized.

At the Brigham and Women’s hospital, each patient will be carefully evaluated and offered a pain treatment plan that is tailored to his or her needs.
