Phytochemicals can be an essential treatment for chronic pain. This narrative review will summarize and critically analyze the evidence surrounding these substances in pain management. We will introduce phytochemicals, discuss their associated mechanisms, and comment on their viability for potential treatment. There have been decades of research on phytochemical therapies for pain management, but the authors limited the scope of the investigation to the last 25 years. This literature review will serve as a foundation for the pain practitioner to understand where these treatments fit in the paradigm for chronic pain treatment. Assess the integration of phytochemicals within pain management fully.
