Pharmacologic Therapy for Acute Pain
Am Fam Physician. 2021 Jul 1;104(1):63-72.ABSTRACTPharmacologic management of acute pain should be tailored for each patient, including a review of treatment expectations and a plan for the time course of prescriptions. Acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are first-line treatment options for most patients with acute mild to moderate pain. Topical NSAIDs are recommended for non-low back, musculoskeletal injuries.

Assessment of post-operative opioid prescribing practices in a community hospital ambulatory surgical center
CONCLUSIONS: One week after outpatient surgery, patients consumed one-third of physician-prescribed opioids, yet they reported high pain management satisfaction. Our study will inform the development of a patient-centered interdisciplinary perioperative education program to more effectively tailor multimodal pain management in ambulatory surgical patients and collaterally reduce the number of retained opioids.PMID:34259335 | DOI:10.5055/jom.2021.0634 (Source: Journal of Opioid Management)
