What this trial studies
This observational study aims to validate the Gendolcat Score, a predictive model designed to assess the risk of chronic post-surgical pain, specifically in patients who have undergone elective cesarean sections. The study will involve collecting data through questionnaires and physical examinations to determine if the Gendolcat model, previously validated for other types of surgeries, is applicable to cesarean sections. By utilizing objective pre-surgical variables, the study seeks to enhance the understanding of chronic pain risks in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a reliable tool for predicting chronic pain in patients after cesarean sections, leading to better pain management strategies.
How similar studies have gone: While the Gendolcat Score has been validated for other surgical procedures, its application to cesarean sections is novel and untested.
