Can a simple pain map predict months of suffering after heart surgery?

NCT ID NCT06681272

Summary

This study aimed to find out if measuring pain sensitivity around a surgical scar two days after heart surgery could predict which patients would still have chronic pain three months later. Researchers used gentle filaments to map pain areas in 84 patients who had open-heart surgery. The goal was to identify patients at high risk early so future treatments could be better targeted.
