About
Angela Mujukian’s research sits at the critical intersection of colorectal surgery and anesthesiology, with a focused commitment to improving perioperative outcomes. Her most cited work, a 2019 study on a standardized opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia protocol (OSMMAP), demonstrates her major contribution: demonstrating that a structured, non-opioid pain management strategy can significantly reduce postoperative opioid consumption—even in opioid-tolerant patients undergoing major colorectal surgery. By analyzing a prospective registry of consecutive patients before and after protocol implementation, her research provided compelling, real-world evidence that “less pain, more gain” is achievable. This work, with 18 citations, has helped shift clinical practice toward safer, more effective pain control. Mujukian’s research is particularly notable for tackling the challenging population of opioid-tolerant patients, a group often excluded from such studies. Her findings offer a practical, data-driven roadmap for reducing reliance on narcotics after surgery, directly addressing the opioid crisis. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how rigorous, single-institution registry studies can generate high-impact, practice-changing evidence that improves patient safety and quality of recovery.
