Abstract
This review analyzes contemporary components of the multimodal approach to preventing chronic postoperative pain syndrome. The reported prevalence of this complication ranges 5%–75%, depending on the type of surgical procedure. A published data search was performed in PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, and 90 publications from 2015 to 2025 were selected. The review discusses key components of the multimodal approach, including regional anesthesia (PECS II and paravertebral blocks), pharmacological interventions (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gabapentinoids, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists, and intravenous lidocaine infusion), and nonpharmacological modalities (physiotherapy, cryotherapy, electroanalgesia, and cognitive behavioral therapy). The combination of these techniques facilitates effective control of acute postoperative pain, minimizes the risk of pain chronification, and reduces the opioid load. Particular attention is given to promising techniques, especially intravenous lidocaine infusion, which has demonstrated a marked reduction in the incidence of chronic postoperative pain. Variability in the effectiveness of different components was noted depending on the type of surgery and individual patient factors, including psychological and genetic characteristics. Further multicenter randomized studies are needed to develop personalized clinical protocols and interdisciplinary approaches to integrating multimodal strategies into practice, particularly in the early postoperative period.
