When can pain and stress play a role?
Pain and stress are unfortunately still common during illness and treatment. We distinguish between different moments in the illness process in which pain and stress can play a role to a greater or lesser extent. We will work to prevent and combat pain and stress at the following points:
- during and after surgery.
- around short procedures such as a puncture.
- complex pain caused by the illness or treatment.
- pain in a phase when getting better is no longer possible.
