Abstract

Preventive analgesia, which prior to surgery in order to avoid or modulate both postoperative acute pain and chronic pain, is a development area within the greater area of pain study. Numerous authors and studies have intended to support or rule out the use of preventive analgesia. In this article we review the concepts in preventive analgesia and postoperative pain, discussing the most recent publications. In addition, we analyze different types of preventive analgesia presently in use and establish that this type of analgesia management is a current challenge that should motivate us into exploring new ideas to integrate the concepts learned and allow us to establish an analgesic strategy that optimizes perioperative outcomes.
