Opioids remain the most commonly used pain management approach for patients with neurotrauma despite significant adverse effects.
At T1, 80% of patients used opioids, but this decreased to 26% for TBI and 53% for SCI at T2, indicating potential over-reliance.
Analgesics like acetaminophen were widely used, especially among patients, with 78% for TBI and 81% for SCI at T1.
The primary adverse effects noted were drowsiness and constipation, experienced by a substantial number of patients across both time points.
