Abstract
Pain is the predominant symptom troubling patients. Pain management is one of the most important aspects in the management of surgical patients leading to early recovery from surgical procedures or in patients with chronic diseases or malignancy. Various groups of drugs are used for dealing with this; however, they have their own implications in the form of adverse effects and dependence. In this article, we review the concerns of different pain-relieving medicines used postoperatively in gastrointestinal surgery and for malignant and chronic diseases.
