Pain is a subjective experience and the perception of pain differs from individual to individual. Each and every individual experience some kind of pain in their life span. Pain is an unpleasant emotional experience usually initiated by noxious stimulus and transmitted over a specialized neural network to CNS where it is interpreted as such. Pain can be effectively controlled or managed by using advanced medical technology. Pain management is a multidisciplinary approach so nurse has to collaborate with other health care team members and also maintain good communication with team members for better quality patient care. Pain control can be achieved adequately by comprehensive assessment of pain and it helps in planning of best treatment for pain. All the health care providers should advance knowledge and skill of pain management to control pain, provide comfort and to improve quality of life. Nurses play an important role in pain management because nurses are in primary contact with the patient and family for 24/7. Nurses can use effective therapeutic communication techniques such as empathy, genuineness, warmth to gain confidentiality of patient and family members to identity difficulties in all the dimensions (physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimension) and to treat total pain.
