Preventive analgesia is a practice aimed at reducing short and long term post surgery pain . Activity in the body s pain signalling system during surgery produces sensitization that is, it increases the intensity of post operative pain. Reducing activity in the body s pain signalling system by the use of analgesics before, during and after surgery is thought to reduce subsequent sensitization, and consequently the intensity of post surgery pain. The types of noxious nerve activity targeted in preventive analgesia include pre surgery pain, all pain system activity caused by the surgery itself, and pain produced post surgery by damaged nerves and inflammation. ref name Katz2008 vcite book author Katz J & Clarke H year 2008 chapter Preventive analgesia and beyond Current status, evidence and future directions editor Macintyre PE, Walker SM & Rowbotham DJ title Acute Pain publisher Hodder Arnold location London pages 154 198 isbn 978 0 340 94009 9 ref A person s assessment of pain intensity from standard experimental stimuli prior to surgery is correlated with the intensity of their post surgery pain.

Unreferenced date July 2008 In linguistics , a grammatical patient , also called the target or undergoer, is the participant of a situation upon whom an action is carried out. A patient as differentiated from a theme must undergo a change in state. A theme is denoted by a stative verb , where a patient is denoted by a dynamic verb. At the very least, there is debate to this effect. Also, patient is the name of the thematic relation with the above definition. Theory Typically, the situation is denoted by a Sentence linguistics sentence , the action by a verb in the sentence, and the patient by a noun phrase . For example, in the sentence Jack ate the cheese , the cheese is the patient. In certain languages, the patient is declension declined for grammatical case case or otherwise marked to indicate its grammatical role. In Japanese language Japanese , for instance, the patient is typically affixed with o the hiragana . Although English language Modern English does not mark grammatical role, patienthood is represented irregularly in other ways for instance, with the morpheme s en , ed , or ee , as in eaten , used , or payee . The grammatical patient is often confused with the direct object . However, there is a significant difference. The former is based explicitly on its relationship to the verb , whereas the latter is based primarily on its relationship to the subject grammar subject . For example, in the phrase The dog bites the man , the man is both the patient and the direct object. By contrast, in the phrase The man is bitten by the dog , the man is still the patient, but now stands as the phrase s subject while the dog is only the agent grammar agent . The term theme is often used to describe the same relation as patient.
