POSTOPERATIVE PAIN - HOW TO MINIMIZE IT OR AVOID?

Abstract

In this review is covered the current data about the origin of post-operative pain and effective methods of pain relief. Article contains the following sections: mechanisms of postoperative pain and causes of transition of acute pain to the chronic pain syndrome, prevention methods, and new principles of acute pain treatment with a specification of main pharmacological approaches.
