Despite progress in pain management in the perioperative setting, the literature is full of evidence that managing postoperative pain is suboptimal. Since the mechanism of pain is complex, the use of multimodal technique allows clinicians to use a combination of two or more drugs targeting different areas of pain transmission because of surgery. As part of enhanced recovery initiatives after surgery, healthcare and professional organisations incorporate the use of multimodal analgesia in surgical guidelines to improve patient satisfaction. This review aims to understand and summarise the current body of evidence involving the most common pharmacological therapies to manage postoperative pain in the preoperative setting.

We investigated HMO members' use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers outside the HMO in 1995-1996. A random 2% survey of Kaiser Permanente Northwest members addressed HMO service satisfaction, self-reported health status and behaviors, and HMO utilization. Among respondents, 15.7% (n = 380) used CAM providers (chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, others) in the prior 12 months, while 35% were ever users. Multivariate analysis found that those more likely to consult CAM providers were females, more educated, and more dissatisfied with the HMO. These results suggest that HMOs may wish to focus efforts to improve patient satisfaction among CAM service users.
