The opioid epidemic skyrocketed around 2017 when many pharmaceutical companies guaranteed effective pain relief with nonaddictive properties of prescription opioids. However, this has proven to be inadequate because opioid misuse has increased in the United States. These catastrophic consequences led many providers to take on a different approach to pain management in the acute and chronic setting. In the last few years, a great deal of research has focused more on a multimodal pain management approach, in hopes to decrease the rate of opioid misuse and related overdoses and help assist in putting an end to this public health crisis.
阿片类药物泛滥的情况在 2017 年左右急剧上升，当时许多制药公司保证处方类阿片具有有效的止痛效果且不会使人上瘾。然而，事实证明这是不够的，因为阿片类药物在美国的滥用情况有所增加。这些灾难性的后果导致许多医疗服务提供者在急性和慢性治疗环境中采取了不同的疼痛管理方法。在过去的几年中，大量的研究集中在多模式疼痛管理方法上，希望降低阿片类药物滥用的发生率和相关的药物过量，并帮助结束这一公共卫生危机。
