What is palliative care?
姑息治疗是专注于减轻疼痛的专门护理, symptoms and stresses of a chronic illness. It can help people with a broad range of illnesses, such as cancer, dementia, heart disease or Parkinson’s disease.
It is different from hospice care, 在所有的医学疾病治疗停止后，在生命的尽头提供安慰. 从诊断到生命末期，你可以在疾病的任何阶段接受姑息治疗. 你也可以在姑息治疗的同时寻求治疗或控制你的疾病.
姑息治疗专家与您的主要提供者合作，以满足您的需求并管理您的症状. Their support may be medical (such as giving pain medications), 非医疗的(如协助日常活动)或两者的结合.
