Introduction: In pregnancy, women experience pain for reasons other than labor or delivery. Painful syndromes may occur during pregnancy, or chronic pain may become more acute, and patients should be offered treatment, always bearing in mind maternal and fetal safety. Objective: To conduct a review of the scientific literature on the management of non-obstetric pain during pregnancy and the potential implications of the different pharmacological and interventional therapies available. Materials and methods: Non-systematic review in the following databases: Medline, Pubmed, FDA and Drugs with a search of relevant articles in English. Results:The articles related to the various types of therapies for pain management during pregnancy were selected. Conclusion: The comprehensive approach to the management of conditions that may produce pain during pregnancy requires the use of medications that are not always 100% safe. Treatment must be inter-disciplinary and humanized, and consider the implications for the mother and fetus, optimizing, whenever possible, non-pharmacological therapeutic options.
