Chinese and Western Medicine Research Progress of Thoracic Surgery Postoperative Pain

Abstract

Seventy-five percent to eighty-five percent of patients may experience different levels of postoperative pain. In clinic, postoperative pain is scary and one of the most common pain. For some patients, postoperative pain is probably the worst pain they may experience in life. But for postoperative analgesia, the public and even the medical fraternity itself do not reach consensus, even if there is consensus, degree of difference is huge. Clinical postoperative analgesia is mainly composed of western medicine, but has obvious deficiencies. Traditional Chinese medicine which combines the syndrome differentiation with the acupuncture treatment has better efficacy in reducing postoperative pain. Therefore, we need to combine traditional Chinese and western medicine, discover a safer and more effective method of postoperative multimodal analgesia and provide scientific treatments to reduce patients postoperative pain and various complications caused by the pain. Multimodal analgesia method of combining traditional Chinese with western medicine in the treatment of postoperative wound pain has fairly broad prospects. It has the obvious effect. The advantage of this approach is safe without side effects. It is worthy of further research.
