Research progress of rebound pain after peripheral nerve block
With the continual advancement of ultrasound visualization technology,nerve block has become widely utilized in clinical anesthesia as an analgesic technique.The traditional opioid-based analgesic approach is shifting towards multi-modal analgesia based on peripheral blocks.Combining general anesthesia with peripheral nerve blocks offers numerous advantages,including reduced opioid usage,early patient mobilization promotion,and acceleration of postoperative recovery.However,some patients experience rebound pain when the nerve block effect subsides,which manifests as unbearable pain.This not only increases the use of postoperative analgesics,but also seriously affects postoperative recovery.This not only escalates the use of postoperative analgesics,but also significantly impacts the postoperative recovery.This article aims to review the definition,clinical manifestations,risk factors,pathogenesis,prevention,and treatment of rebound pain following nerve blocks,and to offer guidance for the appropriate use of nerve blocks as supplementary analgesia in clinical anesthesia.
