When this treatment may help
Severe pain can substantially limit movement and daily life. If existing medication is insufficient or unsuitable, a medically supervised infusion may be discussed. Assessment of the cause comes first.
How the treatment works
A selected pain medicine is administered through a vein. The appropriate substance depends on findings, medical conditions and existing medication. An infusion does not automatically address the underlying cause.
What happens at your appointment
Medicines, allergies and risks are reviewed before agreeing on treatment. Tolerance is monitored during administration. Afterwards, we discuss ongoing care and any restrictions for the rest of the day.
What you can expect
The intended outcome is relief of current symptoms within a wider plan. Effect and duration depend on the medicine and cause. Intravenous administration is not inherently better than suitable oral treatment.
Limitations and possible risks
Venous-access risks are accompanied by medicine-specific side effects and interactions. Kidney, heart or stomach problems can affect selection. New or unusually severe pain may require urgent investigation.
Preparing for your appointment
List all medicines and the time of your last doses, including non-prescription painkillers. Ask whether you can drive afterwards. Further visits depend on response and the clinical findings.
Costs and insurance
The practice accepts all public health insurances and offers private treatment. This does not mean every individual service is covered. The scope, possible personal costs and follow-up are discussed before starting.
