Pain management remains a cornerstone of effective healthcare, impacting patient outcomes, satisfaction, and recovery. The traditional reliance on pharmacological interventions has given way to a growing interest in non-pharmacological techniques, particularly in the context of multimodal approaches. This paradigm shift reflects a commitment to holistic, patient-centered care, emphasizing the synergistic potential of combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies.
