Chronic pain affects one in five adults. It is not only a major cause of disability for individual patients but also a driver of costs for entire healthcare systems. Treatment of pain remains a challenge, and the use of opioids has further led to a concurrent opioid epidemic. In this review, we discuss current standard treatment options for chronic pain, including pharmacological, behavioral, and interventional treatments. In addition, we review ongoing research in different areas that will potentially unlock new therapies.
慢性疼痛影响五分之一的成年人。它不仅是患者个人残疾的主要原因,也是整个医疗保健系统成本的驱动因素。疼痛的治疗仍然是一个挑战,而阿片类药物的使用进一步导致了阿片类药物流行。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了慢性疼痛的当前标准治疗选择,包括药理学、行为学和介入治疗。此外,我们还回顾了不同领域正在进行的研究,这些研究有可能为新的治疗方法提供启示。
