An estimated 240 million surgeries are performed worldwide each year. 1 The International Association for the Study of Pain named 2017 the “Year of Pain After Surgery,” highlighting the problem of acute and chronic postsurgical pain. Despite this increased recognition, as well as a longstanding history of excellent study of the mechanistic underpinnings of postsurgical pain in the preclinical literature, 2 and all the ERAS protocols that have been thrown at this problem, acute postsurgical pain remains a problem for a substantial number of patients. Previous larger studies (22,000 patients) suggest that 28% of patients still experience moderate-severe acute pain after surgery, 3 and higher pain trajectories have been associated with more frequent returns to the emergency department and readmission. 4In this issue of Anesthesiology, Vasilopoulos et al. 5 report their empiric discrimination of the postoperative pain trajectories of patients in the seven days after undergoing major elective non-cardiac surgery. The importance of looking at pain trajectory vs a single point in time, or an average pain scores over time (area under the curve), is that it represents a patient’s pain experience over the duration of their care, graphically visualizing the time course of pain, including a sense of its stability and resolution, and allowing a more complete overall picture of analgesic benefit. As practicing anesthesiologists, we intuitively know that there is diversity in how people recover from surgery and that it is not bimodal (doing well, doing poorly).
