Pharmacological interventions are employed when non-pharmacological methods are insufficient. Common medications include:
- Analgesics: Such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen. - Opioids: Morphine and fentanyl are used for more severe pain but require careful monitoring. - Local Anesthetics: Lidocaine for procedural pain. - Sedatives: Sometimes used in combination with analgesics to manage pain and stress.
