Medication injected into the subdural or subarachnoid space can help alleviate pain by targeting specific areas and delivering the medication directly to the affected site. These methods bypass the barriers that oral medications would have to go through, allowing for more rapid and localized pain relief. However, these procedures should only be performed by medical professionals due to potential risks and complications.
