Study Notes
Pain Management
- The three-step approach to pain management:
- Step one: non-opioid analgesics (aspirin, paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs))
- Step two: mild opioids (codeine) with or without non-opioid
- Step three: strong opioids with or without non-opioid; useful for moderate-to-severe pain
Neuropathic Pain Management
- Pharmacological treatment options:
- Antidepressants (serotonin-related, 5-HT)
- Anticonvulsants (carbamazepine – sodium channel and GABA receptors)
- Gabapentin and pregabalin (GABA-related)
- Ketamine (NMDA receptors)
