Abstract

In the field of nursing and medicine, the importance of pain management cannot be overstated. Chronic pain and acute pain are difficult to define and treat, affecting nearly every aspect of life for millions of people. What counts as pain management has shifted over time, with different cultures and healthcare practitioners ascribing to a variety of methodologies and philosophies. In the beginning, pain management was often regarded as synonymous with "hurt" management, and the extent of discomfort was questioned by the treating doctor. Recent developments in investigation and innovation have resulted in advances in pain management and a greater understanding of the neuropathological and psychopathological causes of chronic pain. Interdisciplinary cooperation is needed to help assess patient care and ensure that care is personalized. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these drugs have been a recent development against current beliefs and aspirations. In addition to their uses and results, this analysis examines opioid and non-opioid pain management medications in comparison.
