Abstract
Regional anaesthesia has significantly evolved, shaping pain management in surgery. This article examines whether research question in this field are becoming exhausted, or if new avenues remain unexplored. Key trends include the integration of ultrasound guidance for precision, optimizing drug combinations for enhanced safety and efficacy, and focusing on patient-concerned outcomes to improve satisfaction and recovery. Tailored approaches for special populations and long-term safety studies are also crucial. Future research may explore innovations in drug delivery, novel local anaesthetic adjuncts, neurostimulation techniques, global access, interdisciplinary collaborations, and the application of artificial intelligence. Emphasizing simplicity, innovation, and patient centric care will ensure continued progress in regional anaesthesia, fostering advancement that enhance both scientific knowledge and clinical practices.
Keywords: Pain management, Regional anaesthesia, Research trends
