French term

Traitement de l'inconfort

French to English Medical Medical (general) Traitement de l'inconfort
Hi,

The term 'Traitement de l'inconfort' comes up in a hospital discharge report from an ICU as one of the treatment options available. 'Prise en charge de la douleur' and 'Prise en charge palliative' are already given as options, which is a bit annoying as I considered translating this term as 'Pain management' or 'Palliative care.'
What about Symptom relief' or similar? Admittedly, this comes rather close to 'Pain management.'

Thank you in advance.

Yes, palliative care is generally (although not always) end-of-life treatment.
The ST was a standalone FR text for a hospital in France – no other source languages as far as I know.
I went for 'Treatment of discomfort' in the end. Thank you, liz askew.
Lirka Feb 19:
Palliative care is a specific term I would not use palliative care since this is a specific protocol. You can't just say that, say, someone was in hospital yesterday with a broken leg and received palliative care for his 'discomfort'. That would be totally misleading.
Lirka Feb 19:
Was this TR from German into French first? Before FR>EN?

IN German, there is a term "Beschwerden" which is also a bit vague, but simply means symptoms. So perhaps you can use the same here.

Johannes Gleim Feb 19:
Palliative care looks fine, encompassing all symptoms, cited by Liz.

Thanks for your useful input. Unfortunately no further information is provided about this discomfort.

What I meant is that before translating a word you need to look it up in context and find out what it involves (as I did...).

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Persons with disorders of consciousness (DoC) may perceive pain without being able to communicate their discomfort. Nociception Coma Scale (NCS) and its revised form (NCS-R) have been proposed to assess nociception in coma survivors with DoC.
