Postoperative Acute Pain Market Trends, Treatments, and Global Forecast
Postoperative acute pain (POAP) remains one of the most significant challenges in clinical care, affecting nearly 80% of patients after surgery. Poorly managed pain can lead to complications such as delayed recovery, prolonged hospital stays, readmissions, and higher healthcare costs. Traditionally, opioid analgesics have been the cornerstone of treatment, but rising concerns around opioid dependency and adverse effects are fueling demand for safer, multimodal pain management approaches.Download Full PDF Sample Copy of Market Report @ https://exactitudeconsultancy.com/request-sample/70919
