Brief Summary

Postoperative pain is an ideal model for study on acute pain changing into chronic pain. The functional imaging of magnetic resonance can reflect the extent and character of pain exactly and the structural imaging of it can be a sign of the change. By analyzing fMRI results of participants with acute pain and following them up for three months, the investigators expect to find objective indicators for acute pain changing into chronic pain and give preventive analgesia for people with high risk of chronic pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • different fMRI results of specific brain regions between people with and without chronic pain

    amplitude of low frequency fluctuation(ALFF) and regional homogeneity(ReHo) of related brain regions

    in the first week after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • the incidence of chronic pain after mastectomy

    six months after surgery

  • the quality of life in patients after mastectomy

    six months after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Chronic pain

Follow up the patients for three months after surgery using the designed table. If the patient evaluate the pain more than 3 points according the Numerical Rating Scale, then it can be considered that the patient has chronic pain.

No chronic pain

Follow up the patients for three months after surgery using the designed table. If the patient evaluate the pain no more than 3 points according the Numerical Rating Scale, then it can be considered that the patient doesn't have chronic pain.
