Evaluation And Risk Assessment For Persistent Postsurgical Pain After Breast Surgery

Running, not enrolling

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer, Chronic Pain, Acute Pain, Depression, Anxiety

In brief

Pre-existing pain and severe postoperative pain are predictors of persistent pain after surgery, but a complete understanding on the development of persistent pain is still lacking. The study aims to identify clinically relevant and genetic risk factors for persistent postsurgical pain that can be reliably distinguished statistically.
