 Three recent major achievements in the field of postoperative pain management in Japan are the establishment of the Japanese Society for the Study of Postoperative Pain(JSSPP)(2021), the introduction of an insurance reimbursement addition fee for Acute Pain Service(APS)(2022), and the publication of postoperative pain management guidelines by the Japan Society of Pain Clinicians(2024). However, despite these advances, only 30% of Japanese healthcare facilities have implemented an APS team, and the existing teams are primarily at university hospitals and large medical centres. The remaining hospitals cite staff shortages, time constraints, and lack of motivation as barriers to having an APS team. In addition, significant disparities exist between the hospitals with established APS programs and those with recently formed teams.

 To standardize and improve postoperative pain management(POPM)across Japan, I propose four strategies:promoting multi-disciplinary approaches at all organisational levels, establishing support systems between experienced and newer institutions, developing and distributing educational resources for patients and all healthcare professionals involved in POPM, and clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the JSSPP in coordinating these efforts.

 Broader challenges aligned with global POPM trends are also addressed herein, including the integration of pain management approaches within comprehensive perioperative care programs such as Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS), Transitional Pain Service(TPS), and Perioperative Surgical Home(PSH)programs. Finally, the need for evidence-based evaluations and a standardization of emerging technologies that may enhance pain assessment and management(including artificial intelligence[AI]-assisted medication optimisation and remote patient-controlled analgesia[PCA]devices)is also addressed.
