Pain management is an essential part of medical treatment. Migraine, lower back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, localised musculoskeletal pain, and localised neuropathic pain are all examples of chronic pain syndromes. While opioids may be acceptable for acute or chronic pain related to palliative or end-of-life care, as well as current cancer therapy, there are also non-opioid pain management choices. Non-opioid pain treatment is an option for mild to moderate pain. Non-opioid pain relief is available without a prescription and as over-the-counter medications.
