Internationally, approximately 140 million women experience childbirth every year. The rate of caesarean delivery (CD) continues to rise globally, estimated to reach nearly a third of all births by 2030.1 As a major abdominal surgery, CD can impact postpartum and long-term health.2,3 Despite the frequency and familiarity of CD, adequate management of postoperative pain after CD remains a challenge.4,5 Poorly managed pain after CD predicts a higher risk of persistent pain, postpartum depression and opioid dependence in women.
