Advances in Regional Anaesthesia and Acute Pain Management

Regional anaesthesia (RA) and acute pain medicine have advanced markedly over recent decades, reshaping modern patient care. Ultrasound-guided RA has become the standard of practice, offering improved efficacy, safety, and ease of performance and driving wider clinical adoption. Its integration with acute pain management strategies has significantly enhanced patient outcomes, reducing opioid requirements and supporting faster recovery. Despite this progress, the field continues to evolve. Novel nerve blocks and contemporary pain management approaches require ongoing evaluation and refinement. This Special Issue aims to present current evidence, address key themes, and explore future directions in RA and acute pain medicine.
