Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire Applied in Preoperative Period in Lumpectomy (Lumpectomy)

Prediction of Postoperative Pain Severity Using Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire Applied in Preoperative Period in Patients Undergoing Breast-Conserving Surgery (Lumpectomy)

Objective: The Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) is a clinically valuable tool that has been shown to correlate with various experimental pain sensitivity assessments in healthy individuals and patients with chronic pain. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the PSQ in predicting postoperative pain in patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Pain Score; Pain Postoperative
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: Prediction of Postoperative Pain Severity Using Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire Applied in Preoperative Period in Patients Undergoing Breast-Conserving Surgery (Lumpectomy).

Detailed Description

Objective: The Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) is a clinically valuable tool that has been shown to correlate with various experimental pain sensitivity assessments in healthy individuals and patients with chronic pain. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the PSQ in predicting postoperative pain in patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery.

Materials and Methods: This study included 74 patients over the age of 18 with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores of I, II, or III, who were scheduled to undergo breast-conserving surgery. Ethical approval from the local ethics committee and written informed consent from each patient were obtained. Patient data, including age, ASA score, and comorbidities, were collected, and contact details were recorded for postoperative follow-up.

The PSQ was administered to all patients during the preoperative period to assess their pain sensitivity. Anesthesia induction and maintenance followed a standardized protocol on the day of surgery. The intraoperative analgesic consumption and the duration of the surgery were documented. Postoperative assessments were conducted 24 hours after the surgery in the general surgery ward, where analgesic use and short pain inventory scores were recorded. Patients were followed up one month postoperatively, and their pain levels were assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Prediction of Postoperative Pain Severity Using Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire Applied in Preoperative Period in Patients Undergoing Lumpectomy	This study included 74 patients over the age of 18 with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores of I, II, or III, who were scheduled to undergo breast-conserving surgery. Ethical approval from the local ethics committee and written informed consent from each patient were obtained. Patient data, including age, ASA score, and comorbidities, were collected, and contact details were recorded for postoperative follow-up.The aim was to examine the relationship between the PSQ score measured in the preoperative period and the degree of pain in the postoperative period. BPI score and NRS score were used in the evaluation of postoperative pain.	From March 2024 to August 2024
