Study Notes
Classification of Pain
- Pain can be classified by its origin:
- Visceral pain: originates from non-skeletal organs (e.g., stomach, intestines).
- Somatic pain: originates from muscles and bones (e.g., headache, sprains, arthritis).
- Pain can also be classified by its duration:
- Acute pain: short-lived, caused by injury, disease, or noxious stimuli.
- Chronic pain: persistent and pathological, lasting longer than expected for healing.
Analgesics
- Drugs that relieve pain are called analgesics.
- Analgesics are also known as antinociceptives.
- Historically, analgesics were broadly classified as "mild" or "strong".
- Modern drug development has blurred this categorization.
Classes of Pain Relieving Drugs
-
Mild analgesics:
- Antipyretic analgesics: reduce fever (e.g., paracetamol).
- Anti-inflammatory analgesics: reduce inflammation (e.g., aspirin).
-
Strong analgesics:
- Opioid analgesics: related to morphine in their action.
- Local anaesthetics: also possess analgesic properties.
