What is Pain Relief?

Pain Relief is the medical or home management of temporary (acute) or long-term (chronic) pain through medications, medical devices, therapy, or a combination of all three.

There are six main categories of Pain Relief medications available both with or without a prescription: NSAIDs, acetaminophen, counter-irritants, anesthetics, corticosteroids, and opioids. Other medications, such as antidepressants, anxiolytics (anti-anxiety medications), and anticonvulsants are sometimes prescribed for pain management. Many of these medications are classified as analgesics, that is, they relieve pain. Anesthetics, on the other hand, partially or totally remove the sensation of pain by numbing the nerves. Other medications have no analgesic or anesthetic properties.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly used pain medication both with and without a prescription. These analgesic drugs, which include aspirin and ibuprofen, block the body's production of prostaglandins, substances that cause swelling, and fever.

Acetaminophen is another common over-the-counter and prescription-only analgesic that stands in a class on its own. Acetaminophen works similarly to NSAIDs but does not reduce swelling.

Counter-irritants are very common as over-the-counter pain relief medications. Neither analgesic, or anesthetic, these drugs work on the principle of the gate theory of pain: providing a surplus of non-pain signals “drowns out” pain signals. Counter-irritants are common in topical pain relief medications as well as cough and sore throat medicines and include capsaicin, menthol, eucalyptus, methyl salicylate, and camphor.

Anesthetics, such as lidocaine, numb the nerves and prevent nerve signals from getting produced or sent. They are used for the temporary relief of pain. Over-the-counter anesthetics are common in topical medications, such as Aspercreme (lidocaine) and Orajel (benzocaine), and are used to relieve pain and discomfort on the skin or in the mouth. Prescription anesthetics are commonly used in medical and dental procedures and some, like propofol, may also produce sleep (sedation).

Corticosteroids are the second-most prescribed Pain Relief medication for pain relief. Corticosteroids, such as cortisone, are anti-inflammatory drugs, not analgesics, but they provide fast-acting and long-lasting pain relief by dramatically reducing the swelling that causes pain. Some corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone, are available over-the-counter in topical medications to treat skin discomfort and pain.

Opioids and opioid-like drugs are the most controlled analgesics but are commonly prescribed for both temporary and chronic pain. These drugs act by attaching to receptors in nerve cells and block certain nerve signals, including pain signals. These drugs, which include opium, morphine, codeine, and tramadol, are highly effective at reducing and even eliminating moderate to severe pain. Their effectiveness wears off within a couple of weeks as patients develop tolerance, so they are usually prescribed only for the short-term relief of pain.

Antidepressants provide moderate chronic pain relief by changing the chemistry of the central nervous system. The effects take one or two weeks to be evident. Anti-anxiety medications interfere with the chemicals that cause muscles to contract, so they help relieve muscle tension and muscle spasms that may be the cause of chronic pain. Finally, anticonvulsants slow down nerve signals and have been found to effectively treat nerve pain, such as that induced by carpal tunnel syndrome.

The most common and reliable medical devices for relieving pain involve applying heat, ice, or vibration. All of these medical devices work primarily on the gate theory of pain management – overwhelming the nervous system with other input to “drown out” the pain signals. Heat and ice also help to relieve swelling, and vibration devices help to loosen muscles and decrease muscle spasms.

A new generation of Pain Relief medical devices involve stimulating nerves, relaxing muscles, changing nerve chemistry, or overwhelming the nerves with other input using electromagnetism, electricity, lasers, and ultrasound. Many of these are wearable devices that can be used throughout the day in different contests.
