[Abdominal syndromes and analgesia].

Abstract

Despite physiological advances and recent progress in pain relief, early analgesia for patients with acute abdominal pain is not a conventional endpoint. In clinical practice, priority is often given to diagnosis and management decisions. There are few controlled trials to settle the issue and opinions are still divided. recent studies suggest than early and effective analgesia in acute abdomen does not interfere with diagnosis, and even facilitates initial examination. Various modes of analgesia can be considered.
