Risk Factors Affecting Chronic Postoperative Pain After Elective Nephrectomy

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Chronic postoperative pain (CPP) is typically defined as pain persisting for 3 months or more after surgery\[1\]. CPP is a common and increasingly prevalent morbidity, leading to long-term psychological issues, reduced quality of life, and impaired functionality\[2\]. To reduce the incidence of CPP, high-risk patients are identified, and various surgical techniques, pharmacological agents, and regional anesthesia techniques are employed\[3\]. The primary aim of our study is to scale chronic pain at 1 hour, 3 months, and 1 year post-nephrectomy using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), ranging from 0 to 10. The secondary aim is to evaluate the effects of factors influencing chronic postoperative pain on the NRS scores.

Treatments
Painfull: patients with Numeric Rating Score equal or higher than 4
The patients are asked to rate their pain according to the Numeric Rating Scale (0=no pain; 10=worse possible pain), and patients with NRS equal or higher than 4 are defined as painfull.
Pain-free: patients with Numeric Rating Score lower than 4
The patients are asked to rate their pain according to the Numeric Rating Scale (0=no pain; 10=worse possible pain), and patients with NRS lower than 4 are defined as pain-free.
