About this trial

This study aims to assess multidimensional risk factors for chronic post-traumatic pain in polytrauma patients. The purpose is to better understand pain chronification mechanisms by quantifying the interaction between clinical, biological, therapeutic, and psychosocial factors during hospitalization, with the ultimate goal of developing a convergent model to predict patients at risk before hospital discharge.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Chronic post-traumatic pain

Presence of chronic post-traumatic pain, defined as a visual analog scale (VAS) score greater than 3 persisting more than 3 months post-trauma. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

Time frame
more than 3 months post-trauma

Secondary outcomes

1

Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) Score

Pain assessed using the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) in mechanically ventilated and intubated patients. Scores range from 3 (no pain) to 12 (maximum pain).

Time frame
From ICU admission until extubation
2

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score

Pain intensity assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). Scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

Time frame
From hospital admission until 6 months post-trauma
3

Injury Severity Score (ISS)

Severity of traumatic injuries assessed using the Injury Severity Score. Scores range from 1 (minor injury) to 75 (most severe injury).

Time frame
At ICU admission
4

Pain Catastrophizing Profile

Pain catastrophizing assessed using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) as soon as the patient is able to self-report during the ICU stay. Scores range from 0 (no catastrophizing) to 52 (maximum catastrophizing).

Time frame
During ICU stay up to 28 days
