IDIOPATHIC PAIN
Introduction
Idiopathic pain is long-term pain, lasting for more than 6
months, that has no obvious or detectable physical or
organic cause.
Muscle relaxants :
diazepam can be used to reduce the tension in
muscles which can aggravate a pain condition.
Anticonvulsants :
gabapentin and pregabalin can suppress the pain
response and pain-windup cycle.
Anti-depressants :
amitriptyline is often recommended for chronic
muscular pain in addition to treating the depression
associated with chronic pain.
