Pain
Pain is a complex sensory and emotional experience that signals potential or actual tissue damage. It can be classified as acute or chronic, nociceptive or neuropathic, and is often a primary symptom of underlying medical conditions. When persistent or unexplained, pain itself may be diagnosed as a medical condition, such as chronic pain syndrome or neuropathic pain disorder.
The treatment landscape for pain encompasses a variety of options, including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen are effective for managing pain and inflammation, while acetaminophen is a safe choice for those with stomach, kidney, or heart issues. Opioids such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and codeine are reserved for more severe pain but come with risks of addiction. Non-pharmacological treatments like acupuncture may also provide relief for some patients.
