Summary

This study looks at why some people develop long-term pain after heart surgery and tests a new questionnaire to predict this risk. About 180 adults having planned heart surgery will be randomly assigned to one of two pain management approaches: standard opioid-based pain relief or a regional anesthesia technique using nerve blocks. The main goal is to see if the questionnaire can accurately identify who will have chronic pain three months after surgery, and to compare which pain management method works better.
