Our findings suggest that greater functional dissociation between mFPC and S1 is likely the result of inadequately controlled nociceptive barrage during surgery leading to more significant postoperative pain. It also supports the utility of fNIRS during the perioperative state for pain monitoring and patient risk assessment for chronic pain.
