Excerpt

Chronic pain continuing for a long time after surgery is one of the emerging medical problems in the field of pain medicine. The presence of chronic postsurgical pain is associated with poor health-related quality of life, increased medical costs and negative psychological effects [1]. In the United States, 5% of opioid naive patients become long-term opioid users after surgery [2]. …
