The PENS apparatus
Pain is either acute or chronic. It is a symptom arising
from hurt or damage to the body tissues, nerves etc. Advanced stage cancer
almost brings chronic pain, particularly to the bones, organs and spine. Pain
cannot be cured but the root cause to pain is curable.
The management of pain is one of the hardest tasks for
doctors. Because he cannot see nor feel the pain. Only the patient can describe
it. Of course there are excellent medication to manage pain, but it comes with
a price and side effects.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) prescribed pain
management in a ladder format. Patients are to take medication from mild to
stronger types. Smaller to larger doses. The WHO pain management ladder is
still valid today.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses herbs, massaging and
acupuncture to cure pain. It does bring relief to pain but only temporary.
New studies in pain management for acute and chronic pain focuses
on the affected nerves and muscles. Hypersensitive pain spots can be detected
by ultrasound scan. In the past acupuncture and Transcutaneous Electrical
Nerves Stimulation (TENS) have managed relive arthritic pain. TENS places
electrodes into the skin of the effected area.
We now have PENS (Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
a similar concept to TENS. PENS uses needle nodes and electrical impulses are
sent into the affected area like acupuncture. PENS is used for patients who
fail to get relief from acupuncture or TENS. PENS combine the benefits of
acupuncture and TENS. PENS is well tolerated and is minimally invasive.
PENS is now available in Hospital HUKM and PANTAI Medical
Centre Kuala Lumpur.
