“may”
The use of the word says more studies are needed.
Pain is a very common symptom.
By 2022 we should know how best to treat it.
I’ve had chronic spinal issues since my 30s, due to congenital issues aggravated by two accidents.
Beer. And Aspirin. (Not necessarily together.)
It would be great if it wasn’t for the increased different medical problems that older people have. Many times a new one being brought on by a previous one. Drug interactions are abundant and the availability of some of the drugs are either too expensive or illegal. Wish there was a one size fits all set of medications that would help but there are too many variables.

EC-Naprosyn 375 mg tablet, delayed release. Works wonders for me, and doesn’t bother my stomach at all, like regular Naprosyn. Fortunately I don’t have to take it every day.
For whatever reason, you can’t buy enteric coated Naprosyn over-the-counter, have to have a prescription. I’ve run into Dr’s who don’t know it exists, and pharmacies that don’t regularly carry it.
I’m dealing with a household member with a slipped disc. That is very painful and and have found nothing to relieve the pain yet. Physical therapy is helping but that takes time. Nerve pain is different from muscle pain where muscles have tensed and tightened. And some nerve pain treatments have really bad side effects.
I had a pinched nerve twice in 2019 and found out that nothing really helped, ibuprofen and aspirin and Lidocaine did not work. I bought a easy@home Tens Plus Massager similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Home-Professional-Electronic-EHE012PRO/dp/B01MXSPBUW
It dulled the pain.
The pinched nerve went away when I did stretches, pushups, lift weights.
The pain was from my neck thru the left arm to the my thumb and forefinger
