Data shows that there are over 300 million patients with chronic pain in China, but the awareness rate, treatment rate, and complete remission rate are low. Moving forward with negative "pain" has reduced the quality of life of patients. Experts say it is crucial to strengthen pain management and national pain awareness education in China. Cheng Shuo Cartography (Xinhua News Agency): Everyone fears pain, but not everyone understands pain. When the pain strikes, does it just pass away? The longer you endure pain, will your ability to endure pain increase? I heard that painkillers have significant side effects, so why not take them? In response to these questions, the National Media Communication Conference on "Improving Prevention Awareness and Avoiding Severe Pain" initiated by the Physician Daily and jointly supported by the China Elderly Health Association and the People's Daily Health Client was recently held in Beijing. At the meeting, the "Research Report on Pain in the Five Regions of China" was released, and experts and association representatives from multiple disciplines discussed topics such as common pain, cognitive misunderstandings of pain, and scientific management of pain among middle-aged and elderly people. The third biggest health problem in China is in the pain clinic. The pain felt by the patients who travel back and forth is strange: some people describe it as "like a needle pierced", some people think it is "like a knife cut", some people say it is like "a thousand arrows pierce the heart", and some people describe it as "like a burning red torch burning in the bone marrow"... Fan Bifa, director of the pain department of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said that the negative impact of severe pain is huge, and it will not only make people unable to eat Not being able to sleep can lead to a series of negative emotions and psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression, and mania. It can also lead to dysfunction of various systems, weakened immunity, reduced quality of life for patients, and even life-threatening situations. According to statistics, nearly 56% of adults worldwide experience pain at least once a week, according to Yu Hua, Vice President and Secretary General of the China Geriatric Health Association. In China, pain has become the third largest health problem after cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and tumors. From a medical perspective, pain can be classified into mild, moderate, and severe; from a disease course perspective, pain can be classified into acute pain and chronic pain. Persistent or intermittent pain lasting for more than 3 months is called chronic pain. "Fan Bifa explained that acute pain is often a symptom, while chronic pain is inherently a disease. What degree of pain is called severe pain? Our understanding of severe pain is at least moderate to severe and above pain, "Fan Bifa said." Moderate to severe and above pain has a quantitative indicator that affects sleep, For example, after a patient finally falls asleep, they turn over and wake up again, with intermittent sleep. They need to seek pain relievers or doctors' help to solve the pain, which is at least moderate or above. What is severe or above pain? Patients may not be able to sleep all night and urgently hope to even go to the emergency department to solve the pain problem. "Experts introduce that after entering the middle-aged and elderly stage, the human body's movement system Various functions such as the nervous system tend to deteriorate, and pain problems often follow. The common pain problems of middle-aged and elderly people include soft tissue pain, skeletal muscle pain (pain caused by cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, shoulder periarthritis, arthritis, etc.), neuralgia (such as diabetes peripheral neuropathy
