Global Health Issues:
The field of pain management is intricately linked to worldwide health issues, particularly the profound effects of cancer. Given that 19.3 million people would be impacted by cancer globally in 2020, the National Cancer Institute’s finding that 20% to 50% of cancer patients experience pain highlights how important efficient analgesics are. The aging population is expected to add 21.7 million more cancer cases globally by 2030, increasing the need for trustworthy pain management treatments.

In the aftermath of the USA opioid epidemic, nations worldwide are recalibrating their approach to opioid prescribing.
