New research published in Science Direct reveals that carefully tapering pain medications for chronic pain patients can lead to positive outcomes, challenging the common fear that reducing medication always worsens pain. This evidence-based approach shows that with proper support and alternative treatments, many patients experience improved function and quality of life. "This research confirms what we've observed in our practice—that thoughtful medication reduction, when done as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, often benefits patients long-term," says our Dr. Jay McDonald. "When needed, we prioritize personalized tapering schedules alongside alternative pain management strategies, ensuring patients feel supported throughout the process rather than abandoned. This study validates our balanced approach to pain medicine." #PainResearch #ChronicPainManagement https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0952818025000443 (fb)
