In certain patients, this pain can persist for over 3 months and is referred to as chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP). Postoperative persistent pain has emerged as a significant and noteworthy issue impacting patient quality of life following TKA. The etiology of CPSP after TKA is multifaceted. Peripheral or central sensitizations resulting from inflammatory reactions, nerve injury, and neurobiological mechanisms are the primary mechanisms contributing to chronic persistent pain after TKA. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors can induce pain sensitization. Once CPSP occurs after TKA, it significantly hampers patient recovery with challenging treatment options. Currently, among the preventive and therapeutic strategies for chronic pain after TKA, it is widely believed that early comprehensive preventive treatment to prevent acute to chronic pain transition can substantially reduce the incidence of CPSP following TKA. In recent years, studies have investigated perioperative strategies aimed at reducing the occurrence of persistent pain after TKA. This article provides an overview of advancements in understanding the pathogenesis, high-risk factors, and preventive measures for chronic pain following TKA. We hope that this review will guide future research directions on CPSP after TKA while contributing to clinical perioperative pain management.</p>","PeriodicalId":19764,"journal":{"name":"Perioperative Medicine","volume":"13 1","pages":"108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11536853/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142583162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
