ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the risk factors that can lead to chronic pain after a type of surgery called elective nephrectomy, which involves removing a kidney. The goal is to understand how much pain patients experience at different times after the surgery—specifically, one hour, three months, and one year later. To measure this pain, researchers will use a simple scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable). By identifying patients who might be at higher risk for chronic pain, the study aims to find ways to help reduce this pain and improve overall recovery.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be between 18 and 90 years old and undergoing elective nephrectomy while receiving general anesthesia. The study will include a range of patients, regardless of gender, but will exclude anyone who cannot be contacted after the surgery or who passes away within a year. If you join the study, you can expect to share your pain experiences at the specified times, and this information will help researchers learn more about managing pain after surgery.
