Study Notes
Pain Management Steps
- Step one: Non-opioid analgesics are used, including aspirin, paracetamol, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Step two: Mild opioids, such as codeine, are used with or without non-opioid analgesics
- Step three: Strong opioids are used with or without non-opioid analgesics, and are useful for moderate-to-severe pain
Neuropathic Pain Management
- Antidepressants that target 5-HT receptors are used
- Anticonvulsants, such as carbamazepine, are used to target NaCh and GABA receptors
- Gabapentin and pregabalin, which target GABA receptors, are used
- Ketamine, which targets NMDA receptors, is used
