The clinical usefulness of a drug therapy program for the management of chronic head and neck pain requires an understanding of the conditions in which the program will be used. The practitioner should remember that drug therapy is not the keystone of chronic pain management, but only a useful adjunct that should be eliminated or reduced as soon as feasible. The other various modalities for chronic pain management, which include physical therapy, relaxation therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, injection therapy, and occlusal reconstruction should be utilized to their fullest extent if the patient is to achieve success.
药物治疗方案在慢性头颈疼痛管理中的临床实用性需要了解该方案将在何种情况下使用。从业者应记住，药物治疗并非慢性疼痛管理的关键，而只是一种有用的辅助手段，应尽快消除或减少。如果患者想要取得成功，慢性疼痛管理的其他各种方式，包括物理治疗、放松治疗、经皮电刺激神经疗法、注射治疗和咬合重建，都应得到充分利用。
