Chronic pain is a highly prevalent condition that can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. Pharmacological interventions are one of the mainstays of chronic pain management, but their efficacy, safety, and tolerability vary widely. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the pharmacological interventions available for chronic pain management, including non-opioid analgesics, opioids, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and topical agents. The article covers the mechanisms of action, efficacy, safety, and adverse effects of these interventions, as well as current guidelines and recommendations for their use in clinical practice. The review synthesizes the available evidence to provide healthcare providers with a valuable resource to guide their decision-making in the management of chronic pain.
