What Is Anesthesiology & Pain Management?

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty that ensures your safety and comfort during surgeries and procedures by managing pain and administering sedation or anesthesia. Pain management, a subspecialty within this field, focuses on diagnosing and treating both acute and chronic pain, helping patients regain control, mobility, and an improved quality of life.

At Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Hospital, our Anesthesiology & Pain Management Department is led by highly trained consultants who combine clinical precision with patient-centered care, ensuring every procedure is as safe, smooth, and comfortable as possible.

When Should You See a Pain Specialist?

You may benefit from seeing a pain management doctor if you're living with persistent pain that interferes with your sleep, mobility, mood, or daily function. Whether it’s lingering pain after surgery, chronic joint issues, or nerve-related discomfort, early intervention can help reduce your symptoms and prevent them from becoming more severe over time.

Types of Pain Management
