Symptom Management
Symptom management is a branch of healthcare that focuses on managing the physical and psychological symptoms associated with a patient's illness, disorder, or injury. It involves identifying, assessing, and treating symptoms to improve a patient's quality of life and well-being. Symptom management is typically used by healthcare professionals to develop tailored treatments that align with a patient's individual needs and preferences. This approach can help to reduce pain, improve symptom control and enhance quality of life. Symptom management techniques include the use of medications, interventions, lifestyle modifications, and psychological techniques, that when combined, can provide better overall outcomes.
