ABSTRACT
Wound care practice continuously demonstrates that healing cannot be adequately controlled if a patient's experience of pain is not managed effectively. Current pain management guidelines do not account for the holistic treatment of pain emanating from a wound-an environment of uncontrolled or rogue inflammation, neuropathy and neuroischaemia. This article investigates how polymeric membrane dressings can interact with the pathology of wounds to correct abnormalities in pain pathways of the nervous system and dampen problematic ongoing pain to enhance the clinical picture of wound healing.
