Abstract

This article attempts to review the key components of a multimodal analgesic regimen for the treatment of acute pain. Adhering to these key components will help reduce the opioid burden to surgical patients while reducing acute pain. As well, this regimen is intended to reduce further negative contributions to the opioid crisis.
