Pain is a multidimensional construct. The purpose of this cross-sectional, single-centre study was to evaluate the relationship between postpartum pain type with pain intensity and opioid use in people with and without opioid use disorder (OUD). ⋯ Postpartum pain type was associated with pain intensity and opioid use. Further research is required to address the multiple dimensions of postpartum pain in people with and without OUD to improve treatment of postpartum pain.
