What is Targeted Pain Treatment®?
Targeted Pain Treatment® (TPT) is the process of accurately diagnosing the cause(s) of a patient's pain and targeting the treatment to the cause(s).
What about TPT makes it so different from traditional pain management with pain scores?
Targeted Pain Treatment® focuses first on accurately identifying all of the causes of the pain that the patient is experiencing and then targets treatment to the identified causes. This is different from some approaches to pain management that have traditionally focuses on lowering the pain score without always treating the true cause of the pain.
