A Study of the Incidence of Post-Thoracotomy Shoulder Pain

NCT00373984 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2013-10-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients undergoing chest surgery (thoracotomy) often develop shoulder pain after their operation despite epidural pain control of the incision. We plan to study the incidence of this phenomenon in our institution to determine whether there are patterns that may predict those persons at highest risk of developing this type of pain. Further, we hope to determine whether newer surgical techniques have an impact on the development of this type of pain.
