Based on the selection criteria addressed above, the findings from the 13 selected articles involved randomized controlled trials, retrospective cohorts, and qualitative research. Six journals containing randomized controlled trials showed significant evidence and support for implementing multimodal analgesia acute pain management. Studies involved patients who had undergone bunionectomy, abdominal surgeries, and cardiac surgeries. Further, six retrospective cohorts portrayed substantial support for the multimodal analgesia among patients who had undergone orthopedic surgery. According to Tavernier (2022), orthopedic procedures are highly recognized as complex and painful, influencing intense exploration of the efficacy of multimodal analgesia to address this problem. The qualitative research findings explored the nurses’ and other healthcare professionals’ views regarding how they felt managing acute pain among patients with scheduled lumbar spine surgery. Despite having low levels of evidence and being subject to bias, the results showed that nurses expressed high frustration levels due to the fear of promoting addiction (Tavernier, 2022).
