Abstract | With the accumulation of clinical experience and research evidence, pharmacotherapy is one
of the important and reliable options for the management of pain conditions including acute,
chronic and cancer pain. Belief, pharmacology, and technology in pain medicines are being
evoluted. An ideal analgesic should pose the properties of offering excellent pain relief, having
no side effects and being safe, which results in good patient’s satisfaction. It is desirable using
pain medications meeting all the criteria for being ideal. Unfortunately, there is no new pain
medications with all such ideal features introduced in last decade. Instead, old pain medications
are being re-evaluated for new indications, better pain relief and improved tolerability.
Techniques of pharmacotherapy such as multimodal analgesia, preventive analgesia and ways of
administration are other areas being actively investigated in order to achieve these goals. Belief
and new trends in pharmacotherapy will be highlighted and discussed. |
