Evaluation of Central Sensitization, Fear-Avoidance, and Pain-Pressure Threshold With Chronic Pain After Hysterectomy
Evaluation of Central Sensitization, Fear-Avoidance, and Pain-Pressure Threshold With Chronic Pain After Hysterectomy

NCT04014829

RecruitingN/A

Sponsor: KK Women's and Children's Hospital

Conditions: Hysterectomy, Chronic Pain, Central Sensitisation, Anxiety Depression

Interventions: Pain-Pressure Threshold, Mechanical Temporal Summation, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Central Sensitization Inventory

Countries: Singapore

Phase 1 (started in July 2019): Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), Fear-Avoidance Components Scale (FACS), pain-pressure threshold are factors associated with chronic post-hysterectomy pain (CPHP), but a complete understanding on the development of CPHP is lacking. The study aims to identify clinically-relevant factors for CPHP that can be reliably assessed preoperatively. === Phase 2 (anticipated start May 2022): In addition to above factors, the association between heart rate variability (HRV) parameters, anxiety level, anticipated pain, and anticipated analgesia requirement with significant postoperative pain and CPHP will be investigated.
