Could anybody help me clarify the meaning of this sentence ?
"Customize the pain management plan using a multimodal approach. "
how to understand this mean? thanks lot!!
"customize" means to adapt the pain management plan to a particular individual. That "multimodal approach." sounds like some sort of buzzword to make the speaker sound knowledgeable.
Feel free to use all possible aproaches to customize the treatment for each patient's pain.
In this case, multimodal approach would mean to consider not only pain-relieving drugs, but other therapies that could help the patient, perhaps including accupuncture, biofeedback, exercise, application of heat or cold, and other things like that.
Now I make sense. That means using various kinds of treatments to individual. or based on the difference of individual, use many different kinds of treatment. Is it right?
Yes, and thanks for coming back. I dislike people who get their answers, and just disappear on us.
oh, really.I am not. today is the first day my instructors are on strike. I feel a liitle sad.
