Analgesics are a class of drugs used to treat chronic back pain. They work by blocking the transmission of pain signals to the brain, reducing the sensation of pain. Common analgesics include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and acetaminophen. NSAIDs are the most commonly prescribed analgesics for chronic back pain, as they are effective at reducing inflammation and pain. Opioids are also used to treat chronic back pain, but they can be addictive and have serious side effects. Acetaminophen is a milder analgesic that is often used in combination with other drugs to reduce pain. Some companies in the chronic back pain drug market include Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, and Novartis. Show Less Read more
