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
