What is Algology? “Why Did I Specialize in This Branch?”
Hello, I’m Associate Professor Tülin Arıcı, an Algologist. Algology, also known as the study of pain in medicine, is a specialized branch dedicated to understanding and treating pain. For me, working in this field is not just a profession; it is a way to address the complex and sensitive issue of pain, which is one of the most crucial aspects of human life. Pain is something that everyone encounters at some point in their lives; however, for some people, it becomes a chronic problem that severely diminishes their quality of life and impairs their daily functioning. This is where Algology steps in.
