Frontiers in Anesthesia and Pain Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

Despite the great reduction in mortality that anesthesiology has achieved in recent decades, there are still many limitations that significantly impair the quality of life of patients in the perioperative phase: thirst, nausea, cognitive impairment, and particularly pain are some examples of the multiple negative consequences that surgery can have. In these areas of patient-related outcome parameters, there is still a great need for scientific work to optimize the improvement of clinical patient care. This Special Issue will compile original studies and reviews on this field of research; Topic include, but are not limited to the following:

• Strategies for reducing postoperative pain
• Interventions to minimize persistent postoperative pain
• Improving patients perioperative wellbeing and quality of life

Other areas of perioperative medicine research not specifically listed will also be considered.
