Postoperative Pain | Current Treatment: Physician Insights | US | 2019

A variety of analgesic products are available to specialists managing postoperative pain in the United States, although the majority of these medicines are available as inexpensive generics. Physicians generally rely on multimodal therapy to manage acute postoperative pain, layering drugs in different analgesic classes (e.g., an NSAID / acetaminophen and an opioid), in an attempt to minimize side effects and reduce opioid consumption. Branded products, such as AcelRx’s Dsuvia, Mallinckrodt’s Ofirmev, and Pacira’s Exparel, face market uptake obstacles including hospital adoption and reimbursement constraints. Given the shifting trends in the management of postoperative pain, understanding the treatment algorithm and prescribing drivers is important for marketers of current branded products, as well as developers of emerging therapies.

  • Which drug formulations are most popular at the different stages of treatment, and which physician type (surgical specialist or anesthesiologist) is most involved in prescribing / administering at each stage?
  • How do physicians characterize recent changes in their treatment of postoperative pain, and what changes to current usage do they expect within the next year?
  • What drives physicians to prescribe / administer select branded therapies, and what are the key obstacles holding them back from using these products?
