Common Pain Management Methods
Proper pain management requires an approach that considers both the physical and emotional implications of a chronic condition. Depending on the cause and nature of chronic pain, there are a variety of pain management tools available for consideration:
Medication
Medication is one of the most common tools in the pain management toolbox. The type and strength of medication will vary depending on the cause and intensity of a chronic pain condition, but here are some common chronic pain medications:
- NSAIDs – NSAIDs are Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs such as Ibuprofen or Aspirin.
- Acetaminophen – Commonly known in the over-the-counter form, Tylenol.
- Antidepressants – Can be used to improve quality and length of sleep, in addition to alleviating pain.
- Steroids – Can be used to alleviate inflammation, a common source of chronic pain.
- Anti-Seizure – Can be used to treat pain related to damage to the nervous system.
Therapy
In addition to other pain management tools, therapy can be an integral part of a rehabilitation process. This commonly includes physical therapy and exercise to fortify and accelerate progress, but may also include emotional or cognitive & behavioral therapy to help cope with the stress and hardship that can come along with a chronic pain condition.
