Pain can play an important role at the social and psychological level; hence one of the major
goals of anaesthesia is to control and reduce the incidence of postoperative pain. The use of …

IMPLICATIONS: This meta-analysis assesses the ability of preemptive analgesic
interventions to attenuate postoperative pain scores, decrease supplemental postoperative …

Preemptive analgesia means that an analgesic intervention is started before the noxious
stimulus arises in order to block peripheral and central nociception. This afferent blockade of …

Preemptive analgesia, initiated before the surgical procedure to prevent pain in the early
postoperative period has the potential to be more effective than a similar analgesic treatment …

Surgical trauma induces nociceptive sensitization leading to amplification and prolongation
of postoperative pain. In experimental studies, preinjury (eg pre-emptive) neural blockade …

Extending a multimodal analgesic treatment into the postoperative period to prevent
postoperative pain may be superior compared with preemptive analgesia. In the future …

Background Preemptive analgesia may improve postoperative pain management, but the
optimal regimen is unclear. This study aimed to compare the effects and adverse events of …

Although some studies of pre-emptive analgesia have reported small reductions in post-
operative pain or analgesic consumption in favour of pre-incisional vs. post-incisional or …

Perioperative pain remains prevalent and poorly treated. Apart from its impact on the rate
and unpleasantness of recovery from surgery, pain often remains as a residual aftereffect of …

The purpose of preemptive analgesia is to reduce postoperative pain, contributing to a more
comfortable recovery period and reducing the need for narcotic pain control. The efficacy of …
