rect functioning of a part of our organism. It is al-

profession has changed considerably in recent
years. Treatment of the cause is always fundamen-
tal, however the pain as such must be otherwise
removed or at least considerably reduced and
made bearable for the patient. The means to com-
bat pain have developed greatly, and there is no
longer any hesitation today in using powerful
analgesics to improve the quality of life of patients.

of sensation by means of electrical micro-impulses
is often the preferred method of combatting pain.

choose the most appropriate programme for the
type of pain and to follow practical recommenda-
