Chronic pain eased by a common sleep supplement

Research from the University of Sydney suggests that melatonin, a supplement often used to improve sleep, may also provide relief for people suffering from chronic pain. This breakthrough could lead to a decrease in reliance on traditional painkillers, which often carry significant risks. Given the ongoing debate about opioid use and its associated dangers, this finding could offer a safer alternative for pain management, potentially transforming how chronic pain is treated.
