Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by the activation of certain nerve fibers, known as nociceptors, in response to tissue damage or other harmful stimuli. The experience of pain can vary in intensity and duration, and it can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). An analgesic is a substance that provides pain relief without causing a loss of consciousness. Glial cells are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system that were once thought to play only supportive roles. However, recent research has shown that glial cells can also play a critical role in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. This session will cover an overview of various analgesics and their mechanisms of action, such as opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and local anaesthetics.
