About
Chang Sub Lee is a leading anesthesiology researcher whose work centers on perioperative pain management, opioid-sparing analgesia, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). His most notable contribution is a landmark 2023 randomized non-inferiority trial comparing a non-opioid multimodal analgesia (NOMA) protocol to traditional opioid-based patient-controlled analgesia following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This study, which has already garnered 9 citations, provided compelling evidence that NOMA can achieve equivalent pain control while significantly reducing opioid exposure—a critical advancement in combating the surgical contribution to the opioid epidemic. Dr. Lee’s research directly addresses the pressing clinical need for safe, effective alternatives to postoperative opioids, demonstrating that patients can recover comfortably without the risks of dependence and side effects. His work has been instrumental in shifting surgical pain management paradigms toward multimodal, non-opioid strategies. By rigorously validating these protocols in high-impact surgical settings, Dr. Lee has established himself as a key voice in perioperative medicine, helping to shape safer, evidence-based standards of care that prioritize both patient comfort and long-term public health.
