About
Dr. Paul Mayor is a leading voice in surgical pain management, best known for his groundbreaking work in opioid stewardship. His research centers on developing evidence-based, ultrarestrictive opioid prescribing protocols to combat the opioid crisis. His most cited paper, "Ultrarestrictive Opioid Prescription Protocol for Pain Management After Gynecologic and Abdominal Surgery" (2018, 123 citations), demonstrated that significantly reducing postoperative opioid quantities does not compromise pain control while dramatically lowering the risk of chronic opioid use and adverse recovery outcomes. This work challenged the standard practice of routine high-volume opioid prescriptions in the United States, providing a safer, data-driven alternative. Dr. Mayor’s contributions have directly influenced surgical guidelines and hospital policies, helping to shift the paradigm from reflexive prescribing to patient-specific, minimal-risk care. His research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to balance effective pain management with public health responsibility.
