This in-depth exam preparation document contains 100 graded and verified questions with answers for PC 707 – Clinical Pharmacology Module 5, focusing on pain management, opioid pharmacology, and headache therapies. It offers a detailed breakdown of pain types (nociceptive, neuropathic), opioid receptor activity (mu, kappa, delta, sigma), full vs. partial agonists, and critical prescribing principles across populations including the elderly, pediatric, pregnant, and breastfeeding patients. Key therapeutic topics include the pharmacokinetics and risks of opioids (morphine, fentanyl, codeine, hydrocodone, buprenorphine), non-opioids (acetaminophen, NSAIDs), and adjuncts (muscle relaxants, antidepressants, anticonvulsants). It also covers opioid withdrawal, naloxone use, dependency management, and safety regulations around scheduled drugs (I–V). Special attention is given to migraine, tension, cluster, and rebound headaches, with abortive and preventive treatment strategies including triptans, ergots, and non-pharmacological interventions. This resource is highly relevant for students preparing for clinical decision-making exams in pharmacology, particularly within primary care, pain management, addiction medicine, and women’s health. It supports effective preparation for university-level assessments and national board exams by reinforcing critical prescribing practices, drug safety, and patient education.
