They said that 'new' ways to relieve pain are to combine strength-training, stretching, and walking in a single exercise program which alleviated chronic pain symptoms in fibromyalgia patients, according to a study done at various Boston hospitals. About 135 women already on pain meds did see physical and mental improvements in the 16 weeks that hadn't lessened even 6 mnths later.
Also, there is a Phase 3 clinical trials study on an extended release painkiller that can ease moderate to severe pain with just one dose.....out of Neuromed Pharmaceuticals in Canada where over 1000 patients have been using this hydromorphone drug
AND finally, the chemical peroxynitrite appears to prevent painkiller tolerance among chronic users, according to St. Louis University doctors. And experts are asking for the development and further testing of such drugs.
This is it from PREVENTION!
