Lab Dekho does not yet list a verified pain medicine specialist with a practice in New Delhi. New doctors are added regularly — meanwhile, the guidance below explains what to look for and where to get care.

What does a pain medicine specialist do?

A Pain Medicine specialist focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions that affect quality of life. They manage chronic back and neck pain, arthritis pain, nerve pain (neuropathy), fibromyalgia, cancer-related pain, and post-surgical pain. Pain specialists use a combination of medications, nerve blocks, epidural injections, radiofrequency ablation, and physical rehabilitation. They often work alongside orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and rheumatologists for conditions that don't respond to standard treatment.

Pain not relieved by standard medications
Burning or shooting nerve pain
Pain limiting daily activities
Pain after surgery that won't resolve
Widespread body pain and fatigue
Chronic pain lasting more than 3 months

Many blood tests can be booked with home sample collection before your consultation, so the results are ready when you see the doctor.

Qualifications to look for

Pain Medicine Specialists usually hold MBBS, MD (Anaesthesiology), Fellowship in Pain Medicine, DNB (Anaesthesiology) with Pain Fellowship, FIPP (Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice). Check that the doctor is registered with the National Medical Commission or a State Medical Council, and ask about their experience with your specific condition.

Sub-specialities

Some pain medicine specialists focus further on one area: Interventional Pain Management, Cancer Pain Management, Spine Pain Management, Neuropathic Pain, Palliative Care.

Typical consultation fees

An in-clinic consultation with a pain medicine specialist in India typically costs about ₹600 to ₹1,800. This is an approximate range — actual fees vary by city, the doctor's experience and the clinic or hospital, and follow-up visits are often cheaper. Confirm the fee when you book.
