MEDICATIONS

Medication management refers to the careful oversight and coordination of medications prescribed to ensure their safe and effective use, especially in managing chronic conditions. For chronic pain conditions, medication management involves selecting the appropriate drugs, adjusting doses, monitoring for side effects, and preventing harmful interactions between medications.

For conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, chronic headaches, or trigeminal neuralgia, medication management may include pain relievers, muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory drugs, or anticonvulsants. The goal is to optimize treatment outcomes, reduce pain, and improve quality of life while minimizing side effects and ensuring patient safety. It often requires ongoing communication between healthcare providers and patients to assess the effectiveness and make adjustments as needed.
