What are the Treatment Options for Breakthrough Pain?
Treatment options for breakthrough pain often involve the use of opioid medications such as morphine, fentanyl, or oxycodone, which can provide rapid pain relief. These medications are typically administered in fast-acting forms, such as lozenges, nasal sprays, or injections. Non-opioid medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids, may also be used to complement the pain management plan.
