The postoperative pain market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC’s new report titled “Postoperative Pain Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034”. Postoperative pain refers to the pain that a person experiences after a surgical procedure. It can vary in intensity and duration depending on the type and extent of the surgery. There are different types of postoperative pain: acute pain, chronic pain, phantom pain, and incisional pain. Acute pain occurs immediately after surgery and typically lasts for a few days to a couple of weeks. It is usually caused by surgical incisions, tissue trauma, and the healing process. On the other hand, chronic pain can persist for months or even years after surgery, particularly if the surgical procedure was a major one or if the patient had pre-existing chronic pain conditions. Phantom pain can occur after amputation or nerve damage; it is a sensation of pain that is felt in a limb or body part that is no longer present. Incisional pain is felt at the surgical incision site, caused by the incision itself and tissue trauma. Postoperative pain is a normal and expected part of the healing process and can be managed with appropriate pain management strategies and treatments. The treatment typically includes a combination of medication, physical therapy, and relaxation techniques. Medication options include over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, and prescription pain medication. Narcotics may be prescribed for severe pain. In addition to medication, physical therapy can help to manage pain and improve mobility, while relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, can help to reduce stress and tension that can exacerbate pain.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the growing number of surgical procedures, and the rising cases of accidental injuries are primarily driving the global postoperative pain market. In addition to this, the escalating consumer awareness regarding palliative care coupled with the inflating demand for innovative and advanced pain-relaxing medications is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the emerging popularity of orally administered drugs on account of their numerous associated benefits, including non-invasiveness, ease of use, self-administration, etc., is also propelling the market growth. Apart from this, several key players are focusing on the development of extended-release non-opioid drugs and abuse-deterrent opioid drugs for post-surgery pain management. This, in turn, is further acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the widespread adoption of non-pharmacological therapies, such as acupuncture, psychological approaches (cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction), chiropractic manipulation, alternative medicine therapies, etc., is also augmenting the global market. Besides this, the ongoing development of new and innovative products and techniques, including nerve blocks and pumps that deliver pain medication directly to the surgical site, is further bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the increasing investments in R&D activities for high-quality postoperative management solutions due to the escalating demand for effective pain management with minimum side effects are expected to drive the global postoperative pain market in the coming years.
