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.

Conditions

• Postoperative Recovery

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	QoR-15 questionnaire	The QoR-15 is a 15-item questionnaire on postoperative quality of recovery. The DN4 is a 10-item questionnaire on neuropathic pain. Both questionnaires will be given to the patients preoperatively, on postoperative days 2 and 3, and 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery.
