There are 2 kinds of pain management. "Pain relief" and "pain modulation" are considered the 2 classifications of pain management. Pain relief is when you wish to lower the strength of pain at the moment, for example, your knees are harming and you take a painkiller, or you rest your knees or use ice to them. Simply the reverse is pain modulation, which attempts to just soften the impacts of pain gradually.
