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
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).
Secondary outcomes
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).
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).
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).
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).
