Illnesses

Our institute may receive patients with:

Acute pain
Chronic pain

Acute Pain

It is thus defined when it arrives sharply.
It has a specific cause.
It lasts under 30 days.
It does not cause considerable socioeconomic alteration for the patient.

The illnesses which most frequently cause a clinical situation of such characteristics are:

Cervical pain that radiates or does not radiate to the arm.
Lumbar pain.
Sciatica.
Renal colic’s.
Refractory chest pain.
Headache / Migraine.
Herpes.
Toothache (Dentistry).
Pain caused by out-patient surgery.
Post-operatory pain.

In the section on post-operatory pain, we would say that normally the interventions that in principle might seem more common or look simple are those in which the patient suffers most, for example:

Breast reconstructions.
Haemorrhoid surgery.
Fistulae.
Hernia repair.

Chronic Pain

It appears progressively.
It may or may not have a specific cause.
It lasts in time once the theoretical cause has been removed. Our institute has received many patients in which pain had lasted for over five years.
Chronic pain causes socioeconomic alternations and family and psychic repercussions on the patients.
