Pharmacological treatments involve the use of medications to manage pain, including:
- Analgesics: Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and NSAIDs for mild to moderate pain. - Opioids: For severe pain, used with caution due to the risk of addiction and side effects. - Adjuvant medications: Drugs like antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and muscle relaxants that can help manage certain types of pain.
