Pharmacological therapies remain a cornerstone of paining management in internal medicine. The use of medications to manage pain varies depending on the type and severity of pain, as well as the patient's overall health and medical history. Commonly used classes of pain medications include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, opioids, and adjuvant analgesics. NSAIDs and acetaminophen are often used for mild to moderate pain, while opioids are reserved for more severe pain due to their potential for dependence and side effects.
