Summary

High levels of postoperative pain are associated with an increased risk of lung and heart complications, are the most common reason for delayed discharge or for unexpected hospital admission after ambulatory surgery, and are responsible for prolonged recovery after inpatient surgery. Furthermore both neuropathic pain and post surgical pain inhibit weight gain and may have an impact on the patient's nutrition post operatively. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodality pain management protocol on postoperative neurosurgical pain.
