Dr. Fudin, you mention in an article buprenorphine works at the spinal level unlike in the brain as traditional opioids. Can you please elaborate on that? Does that have any bearing on it relieving pain better? Are there other pain medications that have similar action?
As always, my deepest gratitude for educating us!
