Clinical Trial Summary
Pain is a sensation of discomfort, annoyance or distress, described as an unpleasant
subjective sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential injury, and
may associate vegetative, psychological, emotional, and behavioral responses. It is the main
reason for medical consultation and in many cases it is assumed as inevitable. It is also a
clinical symptom and generates negative consequences. As a result, people who suffer from
"pain" may see their quality of life diminished.
On many occasions, either due to the high healthcare burden, because pain is not the reason
for consultation or because the main pathology suffered by the patient is not the cause of
the pain, not attention is given to it.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of pain in the inpatient
population, analyzing its presence and intensity in patients admitted to the Doctor Negrín
University Hospital of Gran Canaria. Likewise, it is interesting to know what percentage of
patients with pain have analgesics and the degree of relief with the treatment received. As a
secondary objective, it is intended to establish whether there is a relationship between
factors dependent on the patient and the presence of pain.
Description:
Pain is a sensation of discomfort, annoyance or distress, described as an unpleasant
subjective sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential injury, and
may associate vegetative, psychological, emotional, and behavioral responses. It is the main
reason for medical consultation and in many cases it is assumed as inevitable. It is also a
clinical symptom and generates negative consequences. As a result, people who suffer from
"pain" may see their quality of life diminished.
Its appearance requires a multidisciplinary treatment, from different perspectives and
through different mechanisms, taking into account the individual characteristics of each
patient; since this symptom can be modified which today are not strictly described.
On many occasions, either due to the high healthcare burden, because pain is not the reason
for consultation or because the main pathology suffered by the patient is not the cause of
the pain, not attention is given to it.
It is necessary to carry out a good questionnaire to the patient and take into account the
presence or absence of pain, regardless of the primary pathology that concerns us, in order
to be able to provide correct attention. Pain control may greatly vary the patient's vision
of his ailment and with it, his psycho-emotional state, his attitude and his collaboration,
reducing the impact on his quality of life and the duration of hospital admission.
