What are the Alternatives to Opioids?

While opioids are effective for managing cancer pain, they are not the only option. Alternatives include:
- Non-opioid pain relievers like acetaminophen and NSAIDs.
- Adjuvant medications such as antidepressants and anticonvulsants.
- Non-pharmacological treatments like physical therapy, acupuncture, and psychological support.
Integrated approaches often yield the best results in managing cancer pain.
