Recent research conducted on 23 studies shows that melatonin, a hormone commonly known as the sleep hormone, can be as effective as paracetamol in reducing chronic pain, especially muscular and joint pain. These findings clearly indicate the high potential of melatonin in treating chronic pain and could help change attitudes towards pharmaceutical treatments.
Why Melatonin?
Melatonin is recognized as a natural sleep aid, but it now seems that this hormone can act beyond facilitating sleep. Based on new evidence, researchers believe that melatonin could be considered an effective therapeutic option for individuals suffering from chronic pain. This could be particularly promising for those who are dependent on painkillers.
Now the question is whether it is time for this hormone to be used more widely in medical treatments? Given the results of this research, it seems the answer is yes. However, it should be noted that any treatment should be conducted under the supervision of a physician and according to the specific conditions of each patient.
