Poorly treated acute pain after cesarean delivery is associated with significant short-term and long-term morbidity in young women. Due to the importance of treating perioperative pain, more emphasis has been placed on improving postoperative pain management. However, individual differences in pain perception make postoperative pain management challenging after cesarean delivery. In this review, we will identify recent studies that have utilized a variety of preoperative tests to predict acute and/or chronic postoperative pain scores after cesarean delivery.
