AbstractOver time, the focus of evidence-based acute pain medicine has shifted, from a focus on drugs and interventions (characterized by numbers needed to treat), to an appreciation of procedure-specific factors (characterized by guidelines and meta-analyses), and now anesthesiologists face the challenge to integrate our current approach with the concept of precision medicine. Psychometric and biopsychosocial markers can potentially guide clinicians on who may need more aggressive perioperative pain management, or who would respond particularly well to a given analgesic intervention. The challenge will be to identify an easily assessable set of parameters that will guide perioperative physicians in tailoring the analgesic strategy to procedure and patient.© American Society of Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine 2024.
