About this study

Official title: Transition From Acute to Chronic Pain After Inguinal Hernia, Hysterectomy and Thoracotomy : Analysis of Risk Factors and Association With Genetic Polymorphisms

The treatment of postoperative pain continues to be inadequate in the investigators practice setting.

Inadequate pain treatment not only contributes to postoperative complications in the short term but can also be a factor that favors the development of chronic postoperative pain and diminishes long-term quality of life. Risk factors that can lead to a transition to chronic pain need to be analyzed.

Being tested
Inguinal herniorraphy., Hysterectomy., Thoracotomy .
Keywords
Chronic pain, genetic polymorphisms, postoperative pain
Medical subject headings
Pain, Postoperative, Chronic Pain

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of chronic postsurgical pain.

    After 3 months a physical examination will take place and after 12 months a follow-up will be reported by phone.

    Measured: After 3 and 12 months of surgery.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Predictive factors of chronic postsurgical pain.

    Preoperative (psychological factors, preoperative pain, pharmacologic treatment) intraoperative (surgical technic, type of anaestesia) and postoperative(posoperative pain, surgical complications and treatment of postoperative pain).

    Measured: After 3 and 12 months of surgery.
