Brief Answer:
Drugs to treat central pain listed below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Medications used to control symptoms of central pain syndrome include antidepressants (Amitriptyline, duloxetine), antiseizure drugs (gabapentin, Pregabalin, Topiramate), medical marijuana, and morphine.

If drugs fail to improve symptoms, deep brain stimulation is considered as a possible treatment way.

Discuss with your Doctor about these issues and drugs to use, since these are prescription drugs.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Kind regards.
