"This review provides a comprehensive overview of postoperative symptoms from the perspectives of those experiencing pain following surgical procedures. Postoperative pain is common and is of great importance to those who experience a surgical procedure. It has a profound and lasting impact on quality of life and can cause substantial economic costs.

"Postoperative pain is the most common reason for a patient to visit the doctor for follow up care. Although there are several causes for this pain, the most common complaint is that of pain following surgery. The best available science indicates that prevention and treatment based on pain science will reduce pain and improve health care outcomes. The most effective techniques include the use of medication, behavior modification instructions, patient selection, and care coordination with support from nurses, physicians, or other health care providers. It has been demonstrated that for the pain sufferer, the experience of pain itself is aversive. This can be reduced by reducing physiological arousal, use of pain medication, and use of pain-reduction techniques such as distraction." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"Most patients (98%) with an esophageal cancer had postoperative pain with moderate-to-good pain scores on the day of surgery, and the majority had mild/moderate postoperative pain scores the first postoperative day. The average pain scores on the day of surgery and the first postoperative day were 7 and 3.5 on the 0 to 10 scale, respectively. Almost 6% of patients (14 of 220) had pain scores greater than 12 on the 10-point VAS." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"This research represents the first investigation of an MMBS based CT in terms of a clinical trial and demonstrates the potential of online-based MMBS-CT in reducing levels of disability and overall stress. As a result, online training programmes combining mindfulness-related strategies are increasingly recommended to patients and their healthcare professionals. This is particularly helpful if patients have limited access to formal rehabilitation. Nonetheless, there is some scope for further research in this area, combining mindfulness-based approaches with more formal clinical models of CT, to produce improved results." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Pain management must address both the underlying pain and the consequences of the pain. While the management of pain is a complex and challenging issue, effective pain management and control will help the patient recover and be able to function better. Postoperative pain is usually difficult to control using standard analgesics and can be serious. The use of paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or non-opioid analgesics at the initiation of pain management will help reduce and control the pain associated with procedures.

"The treatment of postoperative pain has been improving every year; however, postoperative pain remains a big problem in modern healthcare. There are very few medicines on the market that have been prescribed specifically for treating pain on the same day of surgery. The number of anti-nociceptive drugs is also very limited, with only five approved drugs currently in use in the US. Even though there is evidence supporting multiple factors that affect the development and maintenance of postoperative pain, research has been focused on pain arising due to cancer. Results from a recent clinical trial of this research do show that research targeting cancer pain is crucial, as it is one of the most prevalent and serious types of pain." - Anonymous Online Contributor
