Chronic Postsurgical Pain: A Persistent Challenge

Surgery is a common and often life-saving procedure, but for some patients, the experience can leave a lasting legacy in the form of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP). This study examines the prevalence, risk factors, and preventive measures for CPSP, a condition that can significantly diminish quality of life. The authors highlight the importance of effective management of acute postoperative pain, emphasizing the use of multimodal analgesic regimens to minimize the risk of developing CPSP.
