Acute postoperative pain after orthognathic surgery can be predicted by the preoperative evaluation of conditioned pain modulation and pain catastrophizing.

Authors

Abstract

The incidence and severity of chronic postoperative pain (POP) are major clinical challenges, and presurgical conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) assessments have exhibited predictive values for POP. However, whether CPM and PCS assessments are also predictive of acute POP is unknown.
