Alternative To Opioid Drugs For Back Pain
Study Shows That Its Effectiveness May Be The Same As Other Non-Opioid Drugs
We have mentioned before that the most common treatment for back pain is based on opioid medications, which have the risk of generating addiction and being ineffective over time. Therefore, doctors and patients are looking for alternate solutions. A recent study showed that non-opioid medications were as effective in management, as opioid medications. In the study, after 12 months, patients taking opioid medications were not functioning any better than the group with the other medication. Non-opioid medications included non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), pain relievers based on acetaminophen, topical agents, or oral adjuvant medications. Additional info click here.
