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.
