Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Pain Management
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Total joint replacement (TJR) is a common yet painful surgical procedure.
  • Past regulatory shifts promoted oral narcotics as primary pain management post-TJR.
  • The ongoing opioid crisis necessitates novel pain management approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current pain management therapies for TJR patients.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of existing and emerging pain reduction techniques.
  • To highlight the importance of patient and caregiver education in pain management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current pain management strategies for TJR.
  • Analysis of the effectiveness of various pain reduction therapies.
  • Discussion of emerging best practices in pain management.

Main Results:

  • Increased reliance on oral narcotics post-TJR has contributed to the opioid crisis.
  • New pain management techniques and therapies are emerging.
  • Education is identified as a critical component for improving pain management outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Effective pain management after TJR requires a multi-faceted approach.
  • Enhanced education for nurses, patients, and caregivers is essential for reducing pain.
  • Addressing the pain experience gap is vital in the context of the opioid crisis.
