Non-Opioid Pain Management

What you'll learn

Course overview

The course is designed to equip learners with knowledge of therapies for managing pain in the absence of opioid drugs. Current research has found that the potentially harmful outcomes likely outweigh the benefits of prescription opioid analgesics, so the development of alternative pain management options is paramount. This course will review the complexities of pain, including its types, underlying mechanisms, assessment methods, and management strategies. The course will explore common non-opioid therapies, both non-pharmacological and pharmacological methods, and meaningful implementation strategies.
