Active treatment is an essential aspect of healthcare and wellness. It refers to therapies or interventions that are meant to improve a person's health condition or manage their symptoms. There are plenty of synonymous terms that can be used interchangeably with active treatment. Some of these include therapeutic interventions, medical regimens, pharmacologic therapies, healing measures and corrective procedures. Active treatment may involve a combination of medication, physical therapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and other interventions, aimed at treating diseases or conditions affecting a person's body, mind, or emotions. It is important to differentiate active treatment from palliative care, which is aimed at improving quality of life by providing comfort measures without necessarily curing an illness.
