Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that a preoperative test of pain modulation predicts persistent pain 4 months after breast cancer surgery. In addition, a risk score for the prediction of persistent pain will be developed from parameters available before surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Trial of Diagnostic Accuracy for the Prediction of Persistent Postoperative Pain After Breast Cancer Surgery Using a Conditioned Pain Modulation Test

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that a preoperative test of pain modulation predicts persistent pain 4 months after breast cancer surgery. In addition, a risk score for the prediction of persistent pain will be developed from parameters available before surgery.

Being tested
comprehensive preoperative testing for risk factors of persistent postoperative pain
Medical subject headings
Chronic Pain, Acute Pain

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • comprehensive preoperative testing for risk factors of persistent postoperative painOther

    nociceptive reflex threshold, pain threshold, CPM-effect of hot water bath, pain sensitivity questionnaire, STAI, BDI, fear of surgical consequences

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. prevalence of pain at the site of surgery

    clinically important pain defined as either necessitating analgesic treatment or having an intensity of more than 3/10 at rest or 5/10 on movement, at 4 months after surgery

    Measured: 4 months postop

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. acute pain

    maximum pain >3/10

    Measured: 24h

  2. subacute pain

    average pain, maximum pain >2

    Measured: 1 week

  3. prevalence of pain necessitating analgesics at the site of surgery

    Measured: 4 months

  4. prevalence of pain at the site of surgery

    Measured: 8 months

  5. prevalence of pain at the site of surgery

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pain and Acute Pain, run by University Hospital, Geneva at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

prevalence of pain at the site of surgery (time frame: 4 months postop). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2016.
