Pain management is the process of providing medical care that alleviates or reduces pain. Pain can be treated with analgesic medications, opiates, or other narcotics; with steroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); or with antidepressants, which affect the brain’s perception of pain.
