It’s 2025. We know the power of advanced pain medicine—from pharmaceuticals to regional anesthesia. Yet many hospitals still lack an ACUTE PAIN SERVICE. Healthcare is 17.6% of GDP. Money isn't the issue. Patients suffer. This must change. #MedTwitter @ASRA_Society @ASAMonitor

Is your health system using low dose buprenorphine to treat acute #pain for routine surgeries? @RAPMOnline would love to hear your experience via a Letter to the Editor! This drug is conceptually VERY strategic for routine use. @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society #buprenorphine #surgery

This is a big story- Huge negative RCT across all outcomes. Our strategy @DartmouthHealth is to target nociplastic and neuropathic pain with lidocaine, not standard nociceptive pain. @RAPMOnline @ASRA_Society @ASAMonitor #lidocaine @ESchwenkMD .

#cryoablation of intercostal nerves for thoracic surgery analgesia is trending. Data is scarce and the delayed effect of cryoablation is concerning. Will this be a future standard or a swing and miss? @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society @ASALifeline @NarouzeMD @EMARIANOMD #esra2024.

Chronic #pain is scary and is associated with a higher likelihood of preventable cardiometoblic disease. A recent publication in @RAPMOnline highlights this. We urgently need new therapies and risk mitigation! @ASRA_Society @ESRA_Society .
