Hyperalgesia
Conditions
Keywords
remifentanil, hyperalgesia
Brief summary
The investigators hypothesize that propofol infusion during surgery can affect the remifentanil hyperalgesia compared to sevoflurane inhalation.The outcome will be measured by a verbal numerical rating score (VNRS) and mechanical punctuating pain by electronic von frey filament.
Interventions
Remifentanil will be infused intraoperatively at 0.2 ㎍/㎏/min (group1 and 2) group 1 (Active Comparator, sevoflurane)will be infused propofol intraoperatively. group 2(Experimental, propofol) will be inhaled sevoflurane intraoperatively.
