Brief summary

Aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate multimodal pain management approach for site acute and chronic pain development, Outcomes, Quality of Life in patients with Ischemic Heart Disease after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). We will enroll 560 patients that they will be divided in to groups: intervention and control. Intervention group will get multi-modal pain management (regular medication and physiotherapy, if needed pain physician will be involved for additional adjuvant therapy). Control group will get pain relief as needed and it will be provided by cardiologist who is taking care of the patient according to local pain management practice. We assume that the study will help improve pain management following frequent PCI interventions, reduce the side effects of medicines used, improve the outcome of ischemic heart disease (IHD) patient satisfaction, and timely detection and / or prevention of complications associated with intervention, including chronic pain syndrome.

Interventions

Multimodal pain management approach. Multimodal pain management for site pain after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with ischemic heart disease. Place: Cardiology department. The approximate duration of the intervention depends on interventional cardiologist (30- 120 minutes). Intervention includes pain management with multimodal approach: pain assessment (before the procedure, immediately after the procedure2, 12, 24, 48 hours, 1 week, 1 month, and 3-6 month after the proce

Multimodal pain management approach. Multimodal pain management for site pain after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with ischemic heart disease. Place: Cardiology department. The approximate duration of the intervention depends on interventional cardiologist (30- 120 minutes). Intervention includes pain management with multimodal approach: pain assessment (before the procedure, immediately after the procedure2, 12, 24, 48 hours, 1 week, 1 month, and 3-6 month after the procedure), regular medication for pain management (2 medications that working synergistically) and physiotherapy. Assessment (catastrophizing scale, pain intensity, neuropathic pain component - DN4 questionnaire) and treatment of site (limb) pain will be provided by pain physician or anaesthesiologist with more than 5 yr. experience. During the PCI procedure patient will get 1 g paracetamol intravenously, 6 hr after the procedure Ibuprofen 600mg/day orally will be given. Brief description of the physiotherapy. The patients will be trained one-on-one to exercises the limb. The beginning of the exercise only after 24-48 hr after the procedure. He will repeat exercise 2-3 times in the day for a week in home settings. Patient will get leaflet of the light exercises (please see attached file with pictures) of the upper limb. There is no heart rate target or etc. If the pain would persist patient will stop exercising and he will be assessed by pain physician for additional adjuvant treatment or further investigation. Pain assessment will be provided before the procedure, during the procedure and 2, 12, 24, 48 hours, 1 week, 1 month, and 3-6 month after the procedure. Other data associated with the PCI procedure or diseases will be collected.
