Chronic Postsurgical Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective is to evaluate the impact of oliceridine versus sufentanil for perioperative analgesia on the incidence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of chronic pain after surgery | from day 1 to day 90 after surgery | Chronic pain intensity was assessed by a numeric rating scale (NRS) using a telephone questionnaire |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of adverse events | 48 hours after surgery | — |
| Chronic pain NRS score 3 months after surgery | 3 months postoperatively | assessed by NRS scale |
| Neuropathic pain (DN4 score ≥ 4) | 1 day preoperatively;3 months postoperatively | the DN4 questionnaire is a brief and user-friendly screening tool designed to identify the presence of neuropathic pain components |
| Sleep quality assessment | 1 day preoperatively;3 months postoperatively | By Pittsburgh Sleep Index (PSQI) scale |
| postoperative acute pain NRS scoring | 24h and 48h after surgery | Acute pain NRS score (rest versus cough) at 24 and 48 hours after surgery |
| Evaluate pain catastrophizing levels in surgical patients | 1 day preoperatively;3 months postoperatively | By PCS Scale |
| Quality of Life Assessments | 1 day preoperatively;3 months postoperatively | The 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) |
| Use and frequency of rescue analgesic administration | 1 day preoperatively;3 months postoperatively | Dose and frequency of rescue analgesics |
