N2 - Purpose of the Review: With the increasing prevalence of cesarean section globally, the importance of perioperative analgesia for cesarean section is becoming increasingly evident. This article provides an overview and update on the current status of cesarean section worldwide and associated analgesic regimens. Recent Findings: Some recent studies unveiled potential association of neuraxial analgesia might be associated with children’s autism, pharmacologic analgesia in obstetric will potentially gain some more attention. Various commonly used techniques and medications for analgesia in cesarean section are highlighted. While neuraxial administration of opioid remains the most classic method, the use of multimodal analgesia, particularly integration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, acetaminophen, peripheral nerve blocks has provided additional and better options for patients who are not suitable for intrathecal and neuraxial techniques and those experiencing severe pain postoperatively. Summary: Optimal pain management is crucial for achieving better clinical outcomes and optimal recovery, and with the continuous development of medications, more and better pharmacologic regimen will be available in the future.
