Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Our research focuses on the incidence of CPSP after VATS in Chinese population. So, our target population will be all the Chinese patients receiving VATS in China. To select an accessible population that can well represent the target population, we set geographic criteria as regional medical centers in all seven geographical subregions of China, namely northwestern China, northern China, northeastern China, central China, southern China, southwestern China and southeastern China. Considering the needed sample size and the cost, we set time criteria as one month. Therefore, the accessible population in our study is all the patients receiving VATS in Aug., 2022 at selected medical centers in all seven geographical subregions of China.

Who may be able to join

  • In-patients at participating medical centers
  • Scheduled for unilateral VATS during the study enrollment period

Who cannot join

  • Emergency surgeries
  • Patients with known pain sensory impairment
  • Patients cannot express themselves so that an NRS score cannot be measured

About this study

Official title: A Nationwide Multi-center Epidemiology Study and Risk Factor Analysis on Chronic Post-surgical Pain After Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery

This study is a nationwide multi-center study to investigate the incidence and risk factors of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) after receiving video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Patients receiving VATS in participating centers across China in Aug. 2022 will be assessed for eligibility, and all the enrolled patients will be followed up for at least 6 months. The study's primary outcome is the incidence of CPSP 6 months after VATS. Baseline demographic, psychological , surgical, anesthesia-related and pain-related characteristics will be evaluated for possible risk factors of CPSP after VATS.

Read the detailed description

Study Overview This is a multi-center perspective cohort study on the incidence and risk factors of CPSP after VATS.

Study aims

  1. Investigate the incidence of chronic post-surgical pain in Chinese population who received video-assisted thoracic surgery by carrying out a multi-center, perspective cohort study
  2. Perform regression analysis to evaluate the risk factors for chronic post-surgical pain in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
  3. Establish a risk-prediction model for CPSP after VATS

Time frame:

We plan to recruit patients from Aug 1st, 2022 to Sept 1st, 2022. And our follow-up will be performed at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the surgeries. After completing the follow-up of all patients, we are going to build a risk-prediction model and have it validated.

Study subjects Our research focuses on the incidence of CPSP after VATS in Chinese population. To select an accessible population that can well represent the target population, we set geographic criteria as regional medical centers in all seven geographical subregions of China, namely northwestern China, northern China, northeastern China, central China, southern China, southwestern China and southeastern China. Considering the needed sample size and the cost, we set time criteria as one month.

Plan for sampling As described before, our study plans to sample all the patients receiving VATS in participating medical centers across China for one month.

Plan for recruitment All patients receiving VATS in our participating centers will be examined for recruitment by the local coordinators according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Plan for retaining subjects We are going to follow up the patients for at least 6 months after the surgery. At the pre-Op visit, the patient will be informed of the study time frame and he/she will be called by researcher in PUMCH during their follow-up. After their discharge, we will contact the patients and call them at 1, 3, 6 months after surgery.

Patient Registries We will use standard case report form (CRF) and electronic data capture (EDC) system for patient registries. All the data required in this study will be obtained by patient interview and medical records and recorded in our CRF and uploaded into EDC system. Researchers in participating centers will collect patient information by interview during their stay at the hospital. An SOP and interviewer training session will be developed for the study. The EDC system will help with data check, data dictionary. And our data monitoring board in PUMCH will check the uploaded data while follow-up telephoning the patients.

Statistical analysis plan Sample size Expected incidence: 30% Comment: the average reported incidence of CPSP after VATS Desired precision: 10% (total width) Confidence level: 95% Therefore, the estimated sample size with the above-mentioned parameters is 323 The risk factors will be analyzed by Logistics regression.

What is being measured

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

  1. post-surgical pain-6 month

    Asking patients about the existence of chronic pain related to surgery by telephone interview

    Measured: 6 month after the VATS

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. post-surgical pain-3 month

    Asking patients about the existence of chronic pain related to surgery by telephone interview

    Measured: 3 month after the VATS

  2. Influence on quality of life

    Assessed by BPI-SF influence part

    Measured: 3\6 month after the VATS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pain, Postoperative, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 13 May 2024. 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 China. 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?

post-surgical pain-6 month (time frame: 6 month after the VATS). 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 13 May 2024.
