Transition from acute to chronic postsurgical pain: risk factors and protective factors

TLDR
It is argued that a focus on the transition from acute to chronic pain may reveal important cues that will help to predict who will go on to develop chronic pain and who will not and how to identify the risk factors and protective factors that predict the course of recovery.Abstract:
Most patients who undergo surgery recover uneventfully and resume their normal daily activities within weeks. Nevertheless, chronic postsurgical pain develops in an alarming proportion of patients. The prevailing approach of focusing on established chronic pain implicitly assumes that information generated during the acute injury phase is not important to the subsequent development of chronic pain. However, a rarely appreciated fact is that every chronic pain was once acute. Here, we argue that a focus on the transition from acute to chronic pain may reveal important cues that will help us to predict who will go on to develop chronic pain and who will not. Unlike other injuries, surgery presents a unique set of circumstances in which the precise timing of the physical insult and ensuing pain are known in advance. This provides an opportunity, before surgery, to identify the risk factors and protective factors that predict the course of recovery. In this paper, the epidemiology of chronic postsurgical pain...read more

Predictors and trajectories of chronic post-operative pain following hip preservation surgery
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the need for preoperative screening prior to hip preservation surgery, as there may be a subset of patients who are predisposed to chronic pain independent of hip health.

A peripheral mononeuropathy in rat that produces disorders of pain sensation like those seen in man.
Gary J. Bennett,Y.-K. Xie +1 more
TL;DR: A peripheral mononeuropathy was produced in adult rats by placing loosely constrictive ligatures around the common sciatic nerve and the postoperative behavior of these rats indicated that hyperalgesia, allodynia and, possibly, spontaneous pain were produced.

TL;DR: In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, treatment with rofecoxib, a selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2, is associated with significantly fewer clinically important upper gastrointestinal events than treatment with naproxen, a nonselective inhibitor.

Neuronal plasticity: increasing the gain in pain.
TL;DR: Here, a conceptual framework for the contribution of plasticity in primary sensory and dorsal horn neurons to the pathogenesis of pain is developed, identifying distinct forms of Plasticity, which are term activation, modulation, and modification, that by increasing gain, elicit pain hypersensitivity.
