This study was performed to investigate whether preemptive multimodal analgesia could be obtained in patients undergoing SSRO. However, the effects of preemptive multimodal analgesia were not confirmed in SSRO patients with the current protocol. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups either in POPI scores or in the total dosage of postoperative diclofenac [...]

The 2 groups were similar in sex, age, weight, and duration of surgery (Table 1). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in POPI scores at FWI (3 hours after extubation) or at 24, 48, and 72 hours after extubation except for those recorded in the PACU (1 hour after extubation) (Figures 1 [...]

We studied 82 patients undergoing SSRO for mandibular protrusion or retrusion. All patients were classified Patients were randomly allocated either to a preemptive multimodal analgesia group (group P, n = 41) or to a control group (group C, n = 41). Subjects in both groups received 10 ixgAg of atropine sulfate and 0.06 mgAg of [...]

Recent advances in postoperative pain management have brought about the concept of preemptive analgesia. The basis of this concept is that, if certain analgesics are administered before the onset of the surgical stimulus, postoperative pain can be prevented or markedly reduced. To induce preemptive analgesia, the pain hypersensitivity has to be prevented both peripherally and [...]
