Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will incorporate into your practice the most innovative interventional techniques to provide symptomatic relief to patients in Palliative Care"

The management of pain in palliative care patients represents a significant clinical challenge due to the complexity of the symptoms and the diversity of underlying causes. The effectiveness of pharmacological pain treatment in this setting depends on a thorough understanding of pain mechanisms, as well as careful selection and accurate choice of analgesic medications. With this in mind, medical professionals must remain at the forefront of the most up-to-date and effective pharmacological strategies for the management of the symptoms of terminally ill patients. Therefore, specialists will enrich their clinical practice with sophisticated, evidence-based tools to improve the quality of life of their patients.

In this scenario, TECH is implementing a pioneering and cutting-edge program in Pain Management in Palliative Care. The study plan will examine in depth the most frequent types of pain in these individuals, taking into account issues such as epidemiology, pathophysiology or topographic atlas. In turn, the syllabus will provide graduates with innovative imaging techniques to evaluate the causes of pain, as well as different scales and algorithms. Along the same lines, the academic contents will delve into the most effective pharmacological treatments aimed at reducing symptoms. Likewise, the program will provide specialists with the keys to manage advanced interventional techniques such as Plexus, Ganglion Ablation or Infiltration or Infiltrations. Therefore, graduates will develop clinical competencies that will allow them to plan personalized, effective and evidence-based pain therapies.
