Brief Summary

Chronic pain is common complication of surgery procedures. Rates of mortalits is getting lower in cardiac surgery. This situation has brought us to focus morbidity and long term life quality. Previous study show that chronic pain after cardiac surgery is experienced 11-40% patient. Multifactorial causes play a role in chronic pain etiology. The aim of our study is to determine the causes of chronic pain in patients who underwent sternotomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Self-leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and sign findings in 3rd months.

    Patients' self-Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and sign (S-LANSS) findings will be evaluated in the 3rd postoperative month. Patients with an S-LANSS score of 12 and above will be diagnosed with chronic neuropathic pain.

    3rd postoperative month

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Self-leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and sign findings at 6th months

    6th postoperative month

  • Short Form 12 scores in the 3rd month.

    3rd postoperative month

  • Short Form 12 scores in the 6th month.

    6th postoperative month

  • Acute pain score

    Up to postoperative 24 hour

Interventions

Factors affecting the occurrence of chronic pain in patients undergoing open cardiac surgery with sternotomy will be investigated.
