Abstract
The physiologic basis for opioid tolerance has been elucidated, resulting in a better understanding of this problem. As a result of this ongoing effort, patients exhibiting opioid tolerance can now expect better pain management both in the postoperative period and during the course of their treatment. This article outlines the pathophysiology of opioid tolerance and a practical clinical approach to this problem.
