This article provides an overview and update on the current status of cesarean section worldwide and associated analgesic regimens.Recent FindingsSome 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.
