Development of Pain Control
Development of Pain Control
This chapter discusses pain control. The phenomenon of pain is found at the juncture of human biology and culture, and the prevailing theory—the gate control theory—of how pain operates allows for a modifying role for culture in one's experience of pain. The chapter shows that modern palliative care cannot function without effective pain control.
