Multimodal Analgesia

Multimodal analgesia is a pain management strategy that uses different methods and medications to relieve pain more effectively than using a single treatment alone. This approach may combine medications like opioids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and local anesthetics, along with techniques such as physical therapy or acupuncture. By targeting various pain pathways in the body, multimodal analgesia can enhance pain relief, reduce side effects, and improve recovery after surgery or injury. This comprehensive strategy aims to provide better overall comfort and minimize reliance on any one type of medication.
