Abstract

Post-operative pain management presents a multifaceted challenge in clinical practice, impacting patient comfort, recovery, and overall satisfaction. This abstract provides a concise overview of various strategies employed to address post-operative pain effectively. Pharmacological interventions, including opioids, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), and multimodal analgesia, are discussed in the context of their efficacy and associated risks. Nonpharmacological approaches such as regional anesthesia, adjunctive therapies, and enhanced recovery protocols are highlighted for their role in optimizing pain control and promoting patient outcomes. Additionally, the importance of patient education and engagement in pain management is emphasized. By integrating diverse modalities and adopting a personalized, multidisciplinary approach, healthcare providers can enhance post-operative pain management, improve patient satisfaction, and facilitate recovery. Continued research and innovation in this field are essential to refine strategies and address emerging challenges in post-operative pain management.
