NCT06417528

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to identify the risk factors of Chronic Postoperative pain (or Chronic Post Surgery Pain - CPSP) three months after surgery and, subsequently. the development of a risk index to identify high-risk patients considering the multifactorial etiology of CPOP in adult patients undergoing any type of elective surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Chronic Post Surgery Pain (CPSP)

    Presence of CPSP assessed 3 months after surgery and defined as an average pain intensity of at least 3 points on the NRS scale (one-dimensional pain scale - from 0 to 10 points) in the last three days and pain localized to the surgical field (or in the lesion area) projected into the innervation territory of a nerve located in this area, or referred to a dermatome.

    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Pre operative factors

    60 to 1 day before the scheduled procedure

  • Perioperative factors - before surgery

    The day of the scheduled surgery - before the surgery

  • Perioperative factors - after surgery

    Immediately after the surgery to 48 hours after the surgery

  • Post operative factors

    3 months after surgery

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Development of the risk index

    6 months after the primary completion of the study

Study Arms (1)

Surgery Patients

Data collection will record parameters of patients undergoing surgery at four different times: preoperative assessment (60 to 1 day before the scheduled procedure); evaluation of the perioperative period; and postoperative period (from the third month following surgery).

Procedure: Chronic Post Surgery Pain (CPSP)

Interventions

The outcome variable is the presence of CPSP assessed 3 months after surgery and defined as an average pain intensity of at least 3 on the NRS scale (11-point one-dimensional pain scale) in the last three days, and pain localized to the surgical field (or in the lesion area) projected into the innervation territory of a nerve located in this area or referred to a dermatome. Separate prediction models will be developed using data derived from surveys conducted at the relevant time points for the development of the risk index.
