Monitoring
Patients started on medical therapy should be evaluated regularly for adverse reactions, documentation of efficacy of treatment, and/or dose adjustment until adequate pain control is achieved.[36] Following uncomplicated surgical treatment, patients should be re-evaluated about 1 week post-procedure to document resolution of symptoms and evaluate for the presence of complications. Subsequent evaluations are performed at longer time periods based on level of symptomatic relief, pain recurrence, and patient desire to wean medicines.
