replies: text: Ignorance by people who believe all the negative misinformation over the years.  Opioids certainly have their place, and other alternatives should be tried before relying on them, but for some cases, they can make life bearable as you noted.  Even some doctors and nurses are ignorant of recent research that show that tolerance does not equal addiction. MeekMark 22:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Proposal: Add content regarding electrotherapy. See page 100 here. --CyclePat (talk) 20:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose for the reason given above. We're not going to link to every pain killer, therapy, etc, from this and every other article involving pain. I think you should take your proposal to the medicine wikiproject to get their opinion of it (please drop a note here). Also, please don't make null edits to draw attention here - people can watchlist talkpages. Thanks, Verbal chat 20:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Nul edit proposal

message: In light of the following I have changed the introductory sentence. I'm no expert, so please improve (with references) if possible.
:Chronic pain management: the essentials By Paul A. J. Hardy. "Pain management " is concerned with the reduction of suffering and enhanced quality of life rather than a reduction in the pain complaint. Pain management is central to the treatment of chronic, that is long duration, pain. P. 10.
:Approaches to pain management: an essential guide for clinical leaders By Joint Commission Resources. The goal of pain management is to relieve the physical and psychosocial symptoms associated with pain while maintaining the patient's level of function. Pain is intimately linked to overall quality of life. P. 129.
:Pain management: an interdisciplinary approach By Chris J. Main, Chris C. Spanswick. Pain management is a growing area of interest for many health care professionals. It is a truly interdisciplinary concept, involving a team comprising medical practitioners, clinical psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and nurse practitioners. (Back page)

message: I would appreciate some input about the possibility of expanding this article to include some of the latest breakthroughs in interventional pain management.  Atsme☯ talk 00:16, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Please just go ahead and do what you will. This article contains a brief summary of interventions, per Wikipedia:Summary style. If you intend adding more detail about a topic already covered, it may be more appropriate to add it to the main article, Interventional pain management.  But just do what you think is appropriate and I'm sure others will chime in with suggestions if they think they're warranted. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email)  09:08, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

message: There is a list of many treatments in this article. I do not think it would be worthwhile to develop the text of those treatments here, when already, those treatments are better described in their own articles. Much of the content here is original writing a a duplicated effort with those other articles.
Ideally, content in the subsections here could be brief and direct readers to the fuller other article. Personally, I like to take information out of the leads of the main article when I am making subsections. I was looking through what is here - I am not even sure that all pain management strategies are well covered. If a single authoritative source gave an overview of the treatments, then it might be useful to list them and cite that source. The list would be useful to a reader, and also provide an internal check that everything is covered.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:25, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Forked content about treatment

message: I moved all the content here that was in the "undertreatment" section to undertreatment of pain. See more information at Talk:Undertreatment of pain.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:17, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

message: There was no external links section here. I created one with a link to a publication by my employer.
*Pain Management Guide
Here are some pros and cons for this source -
;pros
*layman language and patient perspective
*relevant content
*produced in partnership with medical specialty organizations
*nonprofit
*no ads, except for the publication itself
*all free to read
;cons
*I work for this org, see WP:COI
*there are ads to subscribe to the publication in some places
*content is United States-centric
If any of this gives anyone pause, please remove the link immediately.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:03, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is labeled start-level and high-importance. (I think it could use a review, since at a glance it looks C-level.) As such, I'd expect some external links covering areas not yet addressed in this article or perhaps having alternative presentations. In the long term, I'm not sure what external links would meet WP:ELNO#1. --Ronz (talk) 02:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I added the WHO Treatment Guidelines on Pain because it didn't look like a consumer guide. That is, it discusses the topic of the article, approaches to pain management, rather than "Here's what you can do if you have a headache." Analgesic already has quite a lot of information; I'm not sure the link would add much. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 05:25, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

message: I propose that Algology (medicine) be merged into Pain management. I think that the content in the Algology article can easily be explained in the context of pain management, and the Pain management article is of a reasonable size that the merging of  Algology will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

message: Herbs and essential oils are known as natural pain relievers. Lavender has been known to aid in sleep, for some, lavender oil may relieve migraine headaches. Ginger root reduces muscle aches and reduces inflammation as well.  Mercedesgeorge (talk) 00:38, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

message: I have made the following change, replacing OxyContin with oxycodone:
Its main slow-release formula is known as OxyContin. Short-acting tablets, capsules, syrups and ampules which contain OxyContinoxycodone are available making it suitable for acute intractable pain or breakthrough pain.
OxyContin is the long-acting/extended-release preparation, for oral administration, of oxycodone. Short-acting formulations, especially ampules (for non-oral administration) would be oxycodone; oxycodone (not as OxyContin) would also be what is used for breakthrough pain. Also, the previous sentence mentions the slow-release formulation OxyContin seemingly in juxtaposition to this short-acting formulation. I believe this was a typo when originally written so have made this change. I'm hoping I didn't miss something obvious here in making this change.
