Krónikus fájdalom kezelésére alkalmazott invazív beavatkozások hatása a fájdalom szint csökkenésének mértékére és az életminőség változására

Abstract

My dissertation is based on my medical practice of the nearly 30-year-long anesthesiologic-intensive therapy and on the medical practice of the more than 20-year-long pain therapy; furthermore, on my theoretical knowledge pertaining to my cardiologic specialist examination and on my studies of forensic medicine and palliative medicine. As an anesthesiologist, I apply such invasive pain therapeutical methods as belong to the modern interventional pain therapy (Interventional Pain Management--IPM) pertaining to academic medical care, at the same time, they are part of the neuraltherapy belonging to the complementary medicine. The methodological reason for the choice of my topic was that I could assess the effect of my regularly applied invasive treatments to chronic pain, and the alteration in the quality of life among patients needing palliative treatment. While I was planning my investigation, I did not find such Hungarian or foreign publications in which, similarly to my work, an assessment was made using analog, complementary, subjective, and objective methods aiming to examine a patient group needing palliative treatment, pertaining to the effectiveness on chronic pain and the proceeding changes in the quality of life of identical, minimally invasive, pain- therapeutical treatments. Thus I approached my original prospective investigation with the aim of exploration and justification. I unfold the details, the results, and the multidisciplinary conclusions of my research using the basis of different medical special fields, and relevant data of the national public health and economy, furthermore, medicolegal pages.
