Abstract
- The management of acute pain focuses on a multimodal approach integrating both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. In recent years, caution towards opioids has increased, with several studies showing that they are not necessarily more effective than non opioid analgesics for pain relief for musculoskeletal pain, which is the most common painful symptom in outpatient settings, and have the disadvantages of more side effects and a risk of dependence. Adjuvant and non-pharmacological treatments (e.g. manual medicine, acupuncture, hypnosis) are gaining importance to reduce therapeutic escalation and improve pain management. This approach which can be more personalized, aims to minimize risks while ensuring effective relief of acute pain.<br />Competing Interests: Les auteurs n’ont déclaré aucun conflit d’intérêts en relation avec cet article.
