  • Title: Perioperative pain management in the neurosurgical patient.
    Author: Lai LT, Ortiz-Cardona JR, Bendo AA.
    Journal: Anesthesiol Clin; 2012 Jun; 30(2):347-67. PubMed ID: 22901614.
    Abstract:
    Perioperative pain management in neurosurgical patients has been inadequately recognized and treated. An increased awareness of pain management and advances in understanding of pain modulation and pathophysiology have led to improved perioperative care of patients. There is a need to assess neurologic function while providing superior analgesia with minimal side effects. Several classes of drugs are currently available or under investigation for use as adjuvants or alternative therapies. There remains a need to determine the best treatment of perioperative pain in this patient population. Improved awareness, assessment, and treatment of pain result in better care and overall patient outcome.
