How to relieve pain in advanced lung cancer? You can use these therapies

When lung cancer symptoms gradually develop to the late stage, it will cause unbearable severe pain in the human body. At this time, you can consider using analgesics to temporarily relieve the pain. After that, you can consider taking other treatments to treat the primary disease, which can also reduce the pain. At present, the treatments commonly used in clinical practice for lung cancer mainly include physical therapy and surgical therapy.

Of course, when lung cancer strikes, the gradually growing malignant tumor will continue to compress and invade the relevant tissues and nerves of the human body, eventually causing unbearable pain in the human body. Especially in the late stage, this pain will become more and more severe, and may even cause the patient to lose the desire for life. So how to relieve the pain of late stage lung cancer?
1. Drug therapy <br/>To relieve the pain caused by advanced lung cancer, the most commonly used treatment is drug therapy. Usually, painkillers are chosen to achieve the effect of temporary pain relief. Nowadays, the most commonly used drugs in clinical practice are analgesics containing morphine. Such drugs must be taken regularly to be effective. However, taking too much of such drugs can easily cause adverse reactions in the human body and may cause people to become dependent on them.
2. Physical therapy <br/>Physical therapy can also be considered to relieve the pain caused by advanced lung cancer. Currently, the more commonly used physical therapies include radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation and interventional therapy. Among them, radiotherapy is the most frequently used. However, it should be noted that physical therapy will more or less bring a series of side effects to the human body, such as loss of appetite.
3. Surgical treatment <br/>Surgical treatment can also help lung cancer patients relieve the pain in their bodies. Through surgery, the diseased parts of the human body can be removed, which can not only effectively reduce the pain, but also greatly prolong people's life. However, not everyone can use this treatment method. If the physical fitness is low or there is a large spread of cancer cells, surgical treatment is generally not recommended. Because compared with other treatment methods, the risk of surgical treatment itself is still relatively high. Therefore, you must think carefully and decide to choose this treatment method.
