Objective This study aims to compare the effects of active pain management and medication analgesia on the incidence of vascular crisis in patients after finger replantation surgery. Methods From March 2023 to March 2024, 50 patients who underwent finger replantation surgery were selected as the study subjects. Divided into an experimental group and a control group using a random number table method, with 25 cases in each group. The control group was treated with painkillers, while the experimental group was treated with active pain management. Compare the degree of pain, incidence of vascular crisis, quality of life, and emotional status between two groups. Results The VAS pain score, incidence of vascular crisis, SAS and SDS scores in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the quality of life of patients was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Active pain management is more effective in controlling pain in patients after finger replantation, reducing the incidence of vascular crisis, improving quality of life, and alleviating negative emotions compared to medication induced analgesia.
