Impact of Postoperative Transitional Pain on Recovery After Thoracic Surgery

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Postoperative Recovery
• Interventions: Other: QoR-15 questionnaire

• Registration Number: NCT05450172
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Angers

Brief Summary

Postoperative transitional pain corresponds to the pain occuring between acute postoperative pain and chronic postsurgical pain (defined as pain persisting for at least 3 months after surgery). We hypothesized that both trajectory and neuropathic component of transitional pain may influence the quality of recovery after thoracic surgery. To test this, we designed an observational study to identify risk factors for incomplete recovery assessed through the QoR-15 questionnaire.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Consecutive patients scheduled for thoracic surgery	QoR-15 questionnaire	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Impact of pain trajectory and neuropathic component of pain on quality of recovery.	3 months after surgery.	An incomplete recovery will be defined as a postoperative QoR-15 score of at least 8 points lower than the preoperative QoR-15 value. The association between both trajectory and neuropathic component of postoperative transitional pain and incomplete recovery will be evaluated.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Impact of the type of surgery on quality of recovery.	3 months after surgery.	To assess the impact of thoracotomy or video-assisted thoracic on quality of recovery.
Impact of pain trajectory, neuropathic component of pain and type of surgery on chronic postsurgical pain prevalence.	3 and 6 months after surgery.	To assess the impact pain trajectory, neuropathic component of pain and type of surgery on chronic postsurgical pain prevalence.
Correlation between neuropathic componente of chronic postsurgical pain and quality of recovery.	3 and 6 months after surgery.	To assess the correlation between neuropathic componente of chronic postsurgical pain and quality of recovery.
Description of trajectory and neuropathic component of postoperative transitional pain.	Between postoperative day 2 and 3 months after surgery.	To describe the trajectory and neuropathic component of postoperative transitional pain according to QoR-15 and DN4 successive values.
Predictive accuracy of neuropathic pain trajectory on incomplete recovery and chronic postsurgical pain prevalence.	3 and 6 months after surgery.	To assess the predictive accuracy of neuropathic pain trajectory on incomplete recovery and chronic postsurgical pain prevalence.
