Summary

Multimodal analgesia refers to a pain medication strategy that targets multiple chemical pathways to achieve adequate pain relief. This concept has grown in popularity over the years particularly in light of the recognition that opioids have major downsides including dependence. We welcome Dr. J. Preston Van Buren, DO from the Naval Medical Center in San Diego to discuss his team's findings after implementing a focused multimodal analgesia strategy with a reduced number of prescribed opioid tablets following Sports Medicine surgery compared to a more traditional, opioid-heavy regimen that has been classically employed.
