Post-thoracotomy pain syndrome: seldom severe, often neuropathic, treated unspecific, and insufficient.
Pain reports(2020)
Abstract
Post-thoracotomy pain syndrome is not as common as estimated. In most cases, pain intensity is moderate, but patients suffering from severe pain require special attention. They are often heavily disabled due to pain. Tissue-protecting surgery like VATS is beneficial for the prevention of PTPS. Analgesic medications are often underdosed, unspecific for neuropathic pain, and insufficient.
