• A. Pediatrics
• B. Pain Management
• C. Dermatology
• D. Orthopedics

Answer: (B)

Neurosurgery centers on disorders of the nervous system, but a major part of patient care involves alleviating pain that comes from those conditions. Neurosurgeons frequently contribute to pain management through procedures and coordinated therapies for neuropathic, spinal, and post-surgical pain, making this role a natural and common part of their practice. While pediatrics, dermatology, and orthopedics are separate specialties, they do not align as directly with the typical pain-management work tied to nervous-system disorders.
