Can tramadol be safely used in patients with a history of substance abuse and what alternative options are available for managing pain?
Tramadol is risky for those with a substance abuse history due to its addictive potential. Alternatives like physical therapy, NSAIDs, or acupuncture may be safer.
Tramadol use in patients with prior substance abuse should be cautious; non-opioid pain relievers, cognitive behavioral therapy, and meditation are alternative options.
