About this trial

Persistent postoperative pain is a globally recognized issue that deserves attention. Cesarean section is one of the surgeries that may cause persistent postoperative pain. PSPP may affect communication between mother and baby, and may lead to postpartum depression, which has a negative impact on the daily activities and quality of life of mothers. It is an important clinical issue.

The main purpose of this study is to (1) prospectively investigate the overall incidence and characteristics of persistent pain after cesarean section at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery; (2) Use regression analysis and data modeling analysis to evaluate the relationship between perioperative variables and chronic pain in postpartum women undergoing cesarean section; (3) Analyze the relationship between chronic pain after cesarean section and postpartum depression in postpartum women.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of chronic pain after caesarean section

Assessment of chronic postoperative pain by Brief Pain Inventory from 0 to ten, The higher the score, the stronger the pain

Time frame
2024-01-01-2025-01-01

Secondary outcomes

1

Identification of high-risk factors for postoperative inadequate analgesia and PONV in obstetric patients based on machine learning methods

Postoperative pain is represented by NRS score (0-10). The higher the NRS score, the more severe the pain. A NRS score of ≥ 4 is considered insufficient postoperative analgesia. Analyzed the predictive value of 42 variables, including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables, for postoperative inadequate analgesia.
