==Analgesia==

The concept of '''pre-emptive analgesia''' describes the administration of [[Analgesic Drugs|analgesics]] preoperatively to reduce the severity of postoperative pain. It is important to distinguish between pre-emptive analgesia and alleviation of postoperative pain. In other words, pre-emptive analgesia may block sensitization, but it '''does not eliminate postoperative pain'''. Therefore additional measures are still required to ensure a comfortable recovery. The optimum form of pain therapy is constant pre-emptive analgesia, continuously preventing the establishment of sensitization. <br><br>
