The objective of this study was to analyze scientific evidences referring to the pharmacological and non-pharmacological modalities used in the management of the pain of patients in the immediate postoperative period (IPP) of surgeries in general. This is an integrative review of the literature in which a search of articles in the LILACS, MEDLINE/PUBMED, Scopus and Web of Science databases was conducted between 2002 and 2017, which resulted in the analysis of 38 scientific papers. Among analyzed articles, 71% approached pharmacological methods and 28% non-pharmacological measures for the treatment of pain in the IPP. Proper pain management is the responsibility of the professionals involved in care and hospitals should have teams and procedures for pain relief to reduce side effects, hospitalization time and accelerate patient recovery. Non-pharmacological methods may be a promising complementary modality to improve post-operative pain, as these techniques are accessible and easy to perform and when practiced by trained professionals, adverse events rarely occur.
