Identifying risk factors for chronic pain after surgery
Chronic Postsurgical Pain: Multivariate Prediction Model
This study is trying to find out what factors might lead to ongoing pain after surgery so that doctors can better identify patients who are at risk and help them manage their pain.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to identify risk factors associated with chronic postoperative pain (CPSP) occurring three months after elective surgery. It will develop a risk index to identify high-risk patients by collecting data at four time points: preoperative assessment, perioperative evaluation, and postoperative follow-up. The study will assess pain intensity using a standardized scale and analyze various factors contributing to CPSP. The goal is to enhance understanding of CPSP's multifactorial nature and improve patient outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adult patients undergoing any type of elective surgery.
Not a fit: Patients with sensory impairments, cognitive impairments, or those unable to communicate may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better identification and management of patients at risk for chronic postoperative pain.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored risk factors for chronic pain after surgery, indicating that this approach has potential based on previous findings.
