The combination of epidural morphine and epidural neostigmine resulted in postoperative analgesia (11 h) devoid of side effects, being an alternative analgesic technique in the population studied.

The incidence of chronic pain decreases with higher doses of local anesthetics and use of anti-inflammatory drugs. The higher pain scores in the postoperative period were associated with chronic pain development after three months of cesarean section.
