Fortunately, there is now a pain management programme - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - which teaches patients to manage their pain by various techniques.

Dr Lee, who is spearheading the CBT programme at TTSH, is encouraged by the success of the programme in Australia.

So he has invited a team from the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney to conduct the first such programme here.

CBT can help by:
improving the way you manage your pain;
reducing reliance on unhelpful medication;
helping you return to pre-injury activities;
improving your mood, confidence and sleep; and
helping rehabilitation and return to work (despite pain).

Cool~~ I didn't know that cognitive behavioural therapy is used in real life.
