Articles On Pain Management

Although pain is one of the most common human experiences, the scientific discipline of pain research and the medical subspecialty of pain management are relatively new areas. Before the 1800s, pain was largely viewed as an existential experience and accepted as a consequence of aging (Meldrum, 2003), but the twentieth century saw the medicalization of pain management with an increase in the knowledge of the pathophysiology of pain and the variety of pain treatment strategies. This article will focus on chronic pain, as this is an emerging area of ​​great public health importance, and will provide a review of the etiology of chronic pain, an overview of the history of management of chronic pain - including reasons for the dramatic increase in opioids for the treatment of most chronic pain disorders, an overview of non-opioid analgesic treatment strategies and advice for future pain research needs.
