Innovative Strategies to Pelvic Trauma Pain Management: A Systematic Narrative Review of Pharmacological, Regional, and Multidisciplinary Advances
Abstract
The unique anatomy and associated effects of pelvic trauma, which frequently arises from high-energy traumatic events like falls or vehicle collisions, make pain management extremely challenging. Although its efficiency, traditional opioid-based analgesia has disadvantages like tolerance, reliance, and respiratory impairment. With emphasis on pharmacologic advancements, regional anesthesia, minimally invasive techniques, and multidisciplinary approaches, this systematic review illustrates recent developments in pelvic trauma pain management. Non-opioid medicines which include gabapentinoids, acetaminophen, and NSAIDs are becoming significant components of multimodal analgesia. While strengthening pain management, adjuncts such as intravenous lidocaine and ketamine reduce the usage of opioids. For prolonged local analgesia, liposomal bupivacaine along with additional targeted methods of administration are available. Sacral nerve blocks, fascia iliaca, and lumbar plexus are a few regional treatments that successfully alleviate pain at specific sites. In instances where medication fails to benefit the patient, minimally-invasive techniques including spinal cord stimulation (SCS), peripheral nerve stimulation, and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) show promise. Nowadays, the standard of excellence is an integrated approach which involves pharmacologic, interventional, psychological, and rehabilitative ways. nevertheless, challenges which includes insufficient funding, disparate…
