Pain management
Chronic pain serves as the foremost reason for individuals to seek medical attention, impacting over 1.5 billion people globally. Despite significant progress in pain research and understanding, effective treatment of pain remains insufficient. The challenges associated with current pain management can be outlined as follows: - Systemic side effects that are detrimental, such as gastrointestinal ulcers, liver damage, central nervous system complications, and the risk of opioid use disorder. - Insufficient therapeutic effectiveness, with 30-50% of chronic pain sufferers indicating that their pain is not adequately managed. - Low patient adherence to treatment regimens due to adverse side effects and unsatisfactory therapeutic results. - A pressing need for the medical community to enhance its understanding of how to effectively target pain pathways.
