Managing chronic pain is a significant challenge for physicians due to the intricate nature of pain pathways and varying perceptions among individuals. Traditional treatments often fall short, with drawbacks like side effects and opioid dependence. Emerging strategies, including radiofrequency techniques, regenerative biomaterials, and innovative interventional procedures, offer promising alternatives for effective and safe chronic pain management.
