"New hope for treating chronic pain without opioids"
According to some estimates, chronic pain affects up to 40% of Americans, and treating it frustrates both clinicians and patients??a frustration that's often compounded by a hesitation to prescribe opioids for pain.
A new study from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry confirms that a low dose of a drug called naltrexone is a good option for patients with orofacial and chronic pain, without the risk of addiction, said first author Elizabeth Hatfield, a clinical lecturer in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Hospital Dentistry.
"We found a reduction in pain intensity and improvement in quality of life, and a reduction in opioid use for patients with chronic pain," said Hatfield, who hopes to initiate a randomized control trial of low dose naltrexone.
Low doses of naltrexone (0.1-4.5 mg) works by acting on a unique cellular pathway in the nervous system through which it delivers chronic pain relief without opioids, Hatfield said. If patients are working with a physician to treat pain, it's appropriate for them to raise the topic of low-dose naltrexone as a possible alternative.
Chronic pain is pain that persists for several months, or after the initial injury or trauma has healed, and the way clinicians and scientists think about chronic pain is changing. It's now thought that some chronic pain has more to do with how our body reports pain to the brain, than the actual injury.
This concept of the nervous system being sensitized is promoted by cells called glial cells. Low-dose naltrexone targets these cells that keep the nervous system sensitized, thereby reducing the pain threshold and the sensitivity of the nervous system over time.
Traditional pain management has focused on treating the injury or trauma site, but low-dose naltrexone works on the overactive nervous system.
"Low-dose naltrexone begins to address the cause of pain and not just mask it, which allows us to better target diseases causing chronic pain, as well as potentially consider pain control outside of opioid use," Hatfield said.

Hi Judworth, great to hear you have found a successful treatment! I don't know much about LDN at all. What exactly is the mechanism in which it benefits rosacea? Does it just have an anti-anxiety effect or does it physically prevent flushing? Can you get it without a prescription if it's low dose?

[Judworth]

Hello!

All I know is that it has knocked out my facial nerve pain! The less pain, the less flushing and vice versa.

We cannot get it here in the UK on the NHS, but I get mine from:
Dickson Chemist
35 mitchell arcade
rutherglen
scotland, Lanarkshire G73 2LS
United Kingdom

I have neuropathic rosacea (pain with or without flushing) sometimes heat flushing and sometimes cold!

Nice article. Do you have the citation link to this article, please? Nevermind, I googled it and found it.
