Prediction of Acute Postoperative Pain and Analgesic Consumption

NCT02230865 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2015-06-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pain is an expected part of surgical recovery but effective pain management remains challenging. The high variability in postoperative pain experience and analgesic treatment response between patients is part of the challenge. Few studies have yet combined preoperative assessment of responses to experimental pain with measurements of cognitive and emotional processes in the prediction of postoperative pain.

We hypothesize, that preoperative evoked brain potentials (using standard electroencephalographic brain imaging), endogenous pain inhibition capacity (conditioned pain modulation), responses to pressure/thermal pain stimulation, and/or situational pain-related catastrophic thinking are useful clinical predictors of postoperative pain and analgesic consumption.
