Dolore

La terapia del dolore is an informational website associated with neurosurgeon Dr. Franco Caputi, focused on understanding and treating acute and chronic pain. It serves both patients, through clear and accessible explanations, and medical professionals seeking updated information on pain syndromes, diagnostic examinations, and treatment options. The site covers conditions including sciatica, lower back and neck pain, joint pain, headaches, trigeminal and other facial neuralgias, neuropathic pain, post-herpetic pain, and pain caused by nerve compression or deafferentation.

Its content explains medical and surgical approaches to pain management. Medical treatments may include anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicines, as well as newer drugs that affect nerve conduction or are delivered through the skin. Procedures discussed include radiofrequency, laser treatment, coblation, cryoablation, glycerol treatment for trigeminal pain, and selected lesioning techniques. The site also describes electrical stimulation through implanted devices, such as stimulators and pain-relief pumps, or through periodic treatments. It states that treatment decisions must be made by the patient’s physician and that its information is not a substitute for medical advice.
