Prediction of post‐operative pain after a laparoscopic tubal ligation procedure

Background: Pre‐operative identification of reliable predictors of post‐operative pain may lead to improved pain management strategies. We investigated the correlation between pre‐operative pain, psychometric variables, response to heat stimuli and post‐operative pain following a laparoscopic tubal ligation procedure.
