Pain management is a critical aspect of healthcare, often necessitating a multifaceted approach to effectively alleviate symptoms and improve patient quality of life. Integrative medicine, which combines conventional Western medical practices with complementary and alternative therapies from Eastern traditions, offers a holistic framework for pain control. This approach acknowledges the complexities of pain, addressing not only the physical symptoms but also the psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of the patient's experience. This article explores the principles and practices of integrative medicine in pain control, examining the synergistic effects of combining pharmacological treatments with modalities such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, mindfulness, yoga and massage therapy. Through a review of current research and clinical practices, we highlight the benefits, challenges and future directions of integrative pain management.
