AB  - In  the  past  few  years  progress  has  been  made  in  understanding  the  mechanisms  and  pathways  involved  in  the  modulation  of  pain,  as  well  as  in  developing  new  therapeutic  tools  to  provide  satisfactory  pain  relief  after  surgery.  The  relationship  between  the  intensity  of  acute  postoperative  pain  and  the  duration  of  the  patient's  recovery  and  functional  outcome  has  been  well  established.  For  these  reasons,  the  prevention  and  treatment  of  acute  pain  had  become  the  focus  of  great  interest  for  perioperative  specialists.  Postoperative  pain  differs  from  chronic  pain  by  its  shorter  duration  and  its  requirement  for  immediate  relief,  which  dictate  the  development  of  suitable  management  protocols.  Preemptive  and  preventive  analgesia  also  represent  concepts  that  only  apply  to  acute  postoperative  pain.  Finally,  it  is  important  to  recognize  the  role  of  acute  pain  in  the  development  of  chronic  pain  syndrome.
