Chronic pain after keyhole chest surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how common long-term pain is after keyhole surgery on the chest (video-assisted thoracic surgery). It aims to identify factors that increase the risk of chronic pain, which could help improve future care.
