Pain management is a crucial issue for athletes who train and compete at the highest performance levels. There are still evidence gaps for the use of analgesics for sports injuries despite the growing interest in training and competition settings. However, high-quality research is needed to determine the most appropriate and optimal timing and formulations in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and opioid management, particularly given the strictness of anti-doping regulations. Indeed, the role of pharmacological therapy in reducing acute traumatic pain in athletes should still be addressed to minimize the timing of return to sport. Therefore, the aim of this comprehensive review was to summarize the current evidence about pain management in the setting of acute injury in elite athletes, providing the most informed strategy for pain relief and performance recovery.
疼痛管理是运动员在最高竞技水平下训练和比赛的关键问题。尽管人们对训练和比赛环境越来越感兴趣，但在运动损伤中使用镇痛药的证据仍然存在差距。然而，需要高质量的研究来确定非甾体抗炎药和阿片类药物管理中最合适和最佳的时间和配方，特别是考虑到反兴奋剂规定的严格性。事实上，在运动员急性创伤性疼痛中，药理学治疗的作用仍需要解决，以尽量减少重返运动的时间。因此，本综述的目的是总结目前关于精英运动员急性损伤时疼痛管理的证据，为缓解疼痛和恢复运动表现提供最明智的策略。
