Opioids have been the standard-bearer of pain management drugs for decades. They continue to be the most popular and effective delivery system of options. Many non-opioid-based treatments, including gene therapy, pharmacological therapies, and epigenetically-based methods are now available to the patients as well. However, even though they are an important part of the medical process, their use is still limited to very specific circumstances and to situations where additional avenues of treatment are not possible.
Other types of pain management drugs are available, such as narcotics for pain in the mouth, urinary and digestive tract infections, and the treatment of psychological disorders. Narcotic analgesics relieve pain by blocking pain signals from reaching the brain, which may make patients more sensitive to pain signals or have a negative reaction to painkillers. Although opioids are the most common and prescribed drugs used for chronic pain, many people are turning to alternatives such as prescription alternatives, herbal treatments, or the use of narcotic-resistant opioids for mild to moderate pain.
