Abstract
A method and solution for perioperatively inhibiting a variety of pain and inflammation processes at wounds from general surgical procedures including oral/dental procedures. The solution preferably includes at least one tumor necrosis factor (TNF) soluble receptor at dilute concentration in a physiologic carrier, such as saline or lactated Ringer's solution. The solution is applied locally and perioperatively to a surgical site during a surgical procedure for preemptive inhibition of pain and while avoiding undesirable side effects associated with oral, intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous application of larger doses of the agents.
