Abstract

Pain is a prevalent symptom that prompts patients to seek medical care, often leading them to specialists in anesthesiology or pain management. However, the role of internal medicine in pain relief is equally crucial, offering a holistic approach that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of pain. Internists are typically the first point of contact, providing comprehensive evaluations that consider a broad spectrum of potential health issues, including chronic diseases like diabetes and autoimmune disorders. Through preventive care, longterm management, and coordination with specialists, internal medicine practitioners play a vital role in delivering effective and sustainable pain relief. This article explores the multifaceted contributions of internal medicine to pain management, highlighting its importance in the broader healthcare landscape.
