Сhronic pain syndrome, risk factors for its development at stage of operative intervention

At the present time, approximately 80% patients experience postoperative pain which is the leading entity in the overall structure of chronic pain. The aim of this article is investigation of reasons and risk factors underlying its development. Based on the information provided in domestic and international sources in open databases, analysis of these problems has been carried out. Selection of adequate therapy is particularly important against the background of the need for long-term intake of strong analgesics or the impossibility of pain management due to the neurogenic aetiology of the disease. In this connection, it is necessary to study factors predisposing patients to development of chronic postoperative pain and resort to prevention measures in order to reduce the risk of pain syndrome development.
