Pain Management During the COVID-19 Pandemic	2020-08-25		.txt	text/plain	6475	337	46	Understanding both the general problems facing chronic pain patients as well as specific problems in the COVID-19 era including deconditioning, increased mental health concerns, financial burdens, and potential for medication-induced immune-suppression is vital in the appropriate management of patients. Understanding both the general problems facing chronic pain patients as well as specific problems in the COVID-19 era including deconditioning, increased mental health concerns, financial burdens, and potential for medication-induced immune-suppression is vital in the appropriate management of patients. Recent recommendations for the safe use of non-opioid analgesics, opioid analgesics, and interventional pain management procedures are vital to know and understand specifically during the pandemic era. Immunosuppression as a result of medication, whether chronic opioid therapy or the use of oral or injectable steroids (e.g., in interventional pain procedures), is especially concerning during a time of global pandemic. Telemedicine has become an effective way of providing necessary medical services to patients with chronic pain during the COVID-19 epidemic.	./cache/cord-278984-0zof6s4d.txt	./txt/cord-278984-0zof6s4d.txt
