Abstract
Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage (Williams and Craig, Pain, 157(11):2420-2423, 2016). Pain control for patients with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) can be quite challenging, as there are often various pain profiles and presentations of pathology. In this chapter, we will describe best practices for safe and effective pain control during the perioperative course, broken down into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative sections. We will also discuss different medications that may be used together in a multimodal approach to managing pain.
