  Purpose

Shoulder pain is a well known problem after thoracical surgery. The pathogenesis of the pain is uncertain, but mainly a mix of referred pain and mechanical strain to the shoulder. It is believed to last a few days. Persisting shoulder pain after thoracical surgery is a problem 1 year after surgery, but it is unknown if it is related to acute postoperative shoulder pain.

The purpose of the study is to systematically describe postoperative shoulder pain after lobectomy and examine the time progress up to 1 year after surgery.

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: From Acute to Chronic Postoperative Shoulder Pain in Patients for Elective Lobectomy

Further study details as provided by Odense University Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Shoulder Pain [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Shoulder range of motion [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Shoulder range of motion in: flexion, outward rotation, inward rotation, adduction


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Thoracical Pain [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Presence of allodynia and hyperalgesia on the shoulder on the operated side. [ Time Frame: 1. postoperative day ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Presence of allodynia and hyperalgesia on the shoulder on the operated side, compared to the kontralateral shoulder.

  • Quantitative sensory testing values on the shoulder [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Quantitative sensory testing values in referred pain area compared to kontralateral side and preoperative values.

    The following quantitative sensory tests are performed:

    Cold Detection Threshold,Warm Detection Threshold, Cold Pain Threshold, Heat Pain Threshhold, Mechanical detection Threshhold, Mechanical Pain Threshold, Mechanical Pain Sensitivity, Allodynia, Wind-Up Ratio, Vibration Detection Threshold, Pressure Pain Threshold


  • HADS-score [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: January 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: August 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: August 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
