Can Clonidine effectively manage chronic pain conditions? What is its mechanism of action in providing pain relief compared to opioid-based therapies?
Clonidine can manage chronic pain by stimulating alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, reducing pain signal transmission. Unlike opioids, it does not target opioid receptors, thus avoiding dependency issues.
