The use of pain relievers) and other medications is the most common method of chronic pain treatment. "Painkiller" medications can be useful for some patients in chronic pain, but they are not universally effective. Short-dated use of medications for pain is rarely worrisome, but long use increases the possibility of adverse reactions including internal organ problems, balance troubles, gastrointestinal distress and concentration problems. It is important to notice, everyone responds in a different way to the same dose of drug.
Therefore, each person with chronic pain should be medically managed individually, and drug use should be determined by benefit, potential side effects, value and the other medical problems. Partial rather than full relief of pain, sleep loss, or other symptoms is often a more practical goal with using pain relief medications.
Many medications have been marketed as muscle relaxants, even though most do not seem to have any straight effect on muscle. Possibly they should be called "brain relaxants", since they are all sedating and this may be how they really effect. Some of them often also have pain reducing (analgesic) characteristics. |
