Traumatologia is the branch of medicine concerned with the treatment of injuries, whether physical or psychological. In its physical sense, it deals with the medical and surgical management of trauma, such as that arising from accidents, violence, or natural disasters. This field encompasses the initial assessment, stabilization, and long-term rehabilitation of patients with injuries. Traumatologists often work in emergency departments, operating rooms, and rehabilitation centers, managing a wide spectrum of conditions from fractures and dislocations to severe internal injuries. The focus is on preventing death and disability, restoring function, and improving the quality of life for individuals who have sustained traumatic injuries.

Psychological traumatology, on the other hand, focuses on the study and treatment of psychological trauma, which results from experiences that are emotionally overwhelming or deeply distressing. This can include events like combat, abuse, natural disasters, or serious accidents. Therapies within this domain aim to help individuals process traumatic memories, manage emotional distress, and develop coping mechanisms to mitigate the long-term effects of trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. The goal is to facilitate healing and recovery from the psychological impact of these events.
