With the continuation of the forgotten epidemic (the Opioid Crisis), there is a great urgency to develop novel non-opioid approaches for pain control. Here, we will summarize the best evidence for current analgesic strategies, the ongoing development of novel analgesics and the targets likely to lead to the development of future analgesics.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the best-evidence based strategies for current pain contol
Describe at least three new analgesics under development for future pain control
Describe at least three targets (receptors or enzymes) under development for future pain control
