A major advance in pain management is the discovery of low-dose naltrexone (LDN), a non-opioid medication used to treat substance abuse. When prescribed off-label, LDN not only relieves pain, but has anti-inflammatory and immune boosting properties on brain and spinal cord tissues. It is now the preferred, first drug of choice for people living with constant, intractable pain.
