Study Notes
Pain Management Steps
- Step one involves the use of non-opioid analgesics, such as aspirin, paracetamol, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
- Step two involves the use of mild opioids, such as codeine, with or without non-opioid analgesics.
- Step three involves the use of strong opioids with or without non-opioid analgesics, which is useful for managing moderate-to-severe pain.
Neuropathic Pain Management
- Antidepressants, specifically those that target 5-HT, are used to manage neuropathic pain.
- Anticonvulsants, such as carbamazepine, which target NaCh and GABA-R, are used to manage neuropathic pain.
- Gabapentin and pregabalin, which target GABA, are used to manage neuropathic pain.
- Ketamine, which targets NMDA receptors, is used to manage neuropathic pain.
