Non-Opioid Pain Management: New Avenues for Care
Received Date: May 01, 2025 / Published Date: May 29, 2025
Abstract
This review explores advances in non-opioid pharmacological management of chronic pain, emphasizing strategies that offer alternatives to traditional opioid therapies. Key areas include emerging drug classes targeting neuroinflammation, ion channel modulation, and the endocannabinoid system, alongside repurposed medications like antidepressants and anticonvulsants. Cannabinoidbased therapies and novel agents for ion channel modulation, including TRP channels, show significant promise. The review also touches upon genetic determinants of pain perception and non-pharmacological interventions such as botulinum toxin, interventional procedures, and multimodal therapies like CBT. The overarching goal is to optimize pain relief, improve quality of life, and mitigate risks associated with opioid use through patient-centered and multimodal approaches
