Harnessing artificial intelligence for predicting and managing postoperative pain: a narrative literature review

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance perioperative pain management by providing more accurate predictive models and personalized interventions. By leveraging ML algorithms, clinicians can better identify at-risk patients and tailor treatment strategies accordingly. However, successful implementation needs to address challenges in data quality, algorithmic complexity, and ethical and practical considerations. Future research should focus on validating AI-driven interventions in clinical practice and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to advance perioperative care.
