Mapping pain after lung surgery: a new way to predict chronic pain?

NCT ID NCT07653932

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether detailed pain mapping and sensory tests can better capture pain patterns after lung surgery. Researchers will assess pain sensitivity around the incision and track recovery for three months. The goal is to see if these methods are practical and could help predict who develops long-term pain. Participants are men undergoing minimally invasive lung surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to better ways to predict and manage pain after lung surgery, potentially reducing chronic pain.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, so results may not apply broadly. The tests are observational and do not change treatment.
