Pain Management Unit
The OMS Care Center maintains dedicated pain management specialists to help patients with chronic pain manage their symptoms within the context of their daily lives.
There are many conditions of the face and jaw that may result in chronic or recurrent pain. For this reason, Mass General's Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Care Center employs pain management specialists as part of its comprehensive oral and maxillofacial care team.
Chronic or recurrent pain of the face or jaw may be the result of a multitude of causes, from trauma, nerve injury, repetitive injury, bruxism, or temporomandibular disorder--to name a few. When scheduling an appointment, you may request an appointment with our pain specialist or your doctor may refer you for a pain evaluation.
Pain management programs for face and jaw pain may involve a comprehensive medical evaluation, x-rays and other diagnostic tests, and a variety of treatment modalities. If your pain is a result of surgery or other primary ailment, our pain specialist will coordinate your treatment plan in conjunction with your other doctors.
