Managing cancer pain involves a combination of pharmacologic treatments and interventional procedures. Dr. Saipriya Tewari often starts with medications to help control pain, such as opioids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and adjuvant medications that help reduce nerve pain or muscle spasms. However, for more advanced cases, she may recommend interventional treatments like nerve blocks, epidural injections, or spinal cord stimulation to directly target the source of the pain. By using these advanced techniques, she can offer significant pain relief, especially for patients experiencing localized pain from tumors pressing on specific nerves or organs.
