Controlling pain in porphyria Most all acute or chronic porphyria patients seek treatment for chronic pain each year.
Relief is as individual as the pain itself.
For some porphyria patients a certain medication or a particular type of nerve block or physical therapy may make a significant difference. But with most porphyria patients the solution lies in a multi-part approach to reversing the chronic pain. Often porphyria patients are being referred to pain management specialists after the patient has a definite confirmation of their diagnosis. Pain management is a special type of approach used by clinicians. Many scientific studies have documented the value of this approach, regardless of the specific cause or duration of an individual's chronic pain.
