Acute pain is primarily a symptom of a pathological process or injury. Typically treating the illness or injury will reduce or eliminate acute pain symptoms. Analgesic medications are often used in this setting for comfort during the healing process. For the most part, treatment of the underlying pathology or injury and medication management are effective in the treatment of acute pain. Many resources exist for assisting clinicians with acute pain management strategies.
