| Resumen en inglés | The pain is possibly the first cause of consultation of the medicine and continues being one of the main challenges in our daily praxis.

The pain control represents a reachable challenge for all the doctors and the society. In a person with an uncontrollable chronic painful suffering the death is his/ her best relief and deign trance.
