Abstract:
Pain in palliative patients demonstrates impact from many dimensions. This article focuses on pain and typical treatment problems in this respect. A pain analysis is mandatory before initiating pharmacological treatment. However, there are often problems with neuropathic and breakthrough pain. A special issue is the possible toxicity of opioids with acute tolerance and central nervous system sensitisation resulting in increased pain intensity. A key word in the treatment of opioid induced problems is opioid rotation. As pain is very dynamic, close monitoring is recommended.

Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxants: Therapeutic Uses
Centrally acting drugs are classified into spasmolytic and antispasmodic drugs. Spasmolytic drugs such as baclofen, diazepam, and tizanidine inhibit spinal motor neurons and decrease muscle tone. Spasmolytic drugs are administered for severe and chronic spasms due to multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, and spinal cord and muscle injuries. However,...
