Is low-dose naltrexone effective in chronic pain management?
J Fam Pract. 2023 Sep;72(7):320-321. doi: 10.12788/jfp.0654.ABSTRACTYES. Low-dose naltrexone is as effective as amitriptyline in the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy and has a superior safety profile (strength of recommendation [SOR], B; single randomized controlled trial [RCT]). Low-dose naltrexone significantly reduced pain by 32% in inflammatory conditions and 44% in neuropathic conditions (SOR, B; single retrospective cohort study). Doses as low as 5.4 mg were found to reduce pain in 95% of patients with fibromyalgia (SOR, B; single prospective dose-response study).PMID:37729143 | DOI:10.12788/jfp.0654

Pain management in indigenous and tribal peoples: a scoping review protocol
Introduction Effective and culturally safe pain management can facilitate analgesia and improve the quality of life. Individualised, multimodal and multidisciplinary approaches are highly recommended. There exist gaps in the knowledge on pain management, in terms of the assessment and/or treatment, in indigenous peoples and the currently available information is scattered in the literature. A scoping review will provide an overview or evidence map on the variety of approaches used in different cultures, in different parts of the world. Methods and analysis The search strategy comprises three stages. The first stage identi...

It is a normal physiologic response to a noxious stimulus that can become pathologic if untreated or not treated effectively. Acute pain has a limited duration (<1 month) and often is caused by injury, trauma, or medical treatments such as surgery. Primary care practitioners (PCPs) who encounter patients with acute pain can help preserve function and quality of life and prevent progression to chronic pain by implementing appropriate ma...
