Abstract

Abstract : ( Am J Obstet Gynecol . 2017;217(3):303–313) Preemptive analgesia, which may include multimodal pain management, is administered before surgery and is believed to prevent central sensitization. This can include narcotic or non-narcotic medications and may be administered in many ways. This systematic review used current studies of women receiving preemptive medication for abdominal hysterectomy, with a primary outcome of pain control. The aim was to determine the best method of pain control while decreasing narcotic consumption and adverse events.
