Post-operative pain is a predictable yet complex clinical challenge that, if inadequately controlled, can lead to delayed recovery, increased risk of chronic pain development, prolonged hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Historically managed through opioid monotherapy, the adverse effects and limitations of opioids have led to the evolution of multimodal analgesia. This strategy integrates two or more analgesic modalities with different mechanisms of action to improve pain control, minimize side effects, and facilitate faster recovery. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the multimodal approach to post-operative pain management, including its rationale, commonly used agents and techniques, clinical evidence, and its role in enhanced recovery protocols. It also highlights the importance of tailoring analgesic regimens to individual patients and surgical procedures.
