About this trial

Chronic post-mastectomy pain (CPMP) is a significant issue affecting many women after mastectomy. Factors like age, treatment type, and pre-surgery pain can increase the risk of developing this condition. By evaluating these factors, CPMP can be prevented more successfully and treatment strategies can be developed. This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to CPMP and contribute to the existing literature on this important topic.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Self-leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and sign findings in 3rd months.

Patients; self-Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and sign (S-LANSS) findings will be evaluated in the 3rd postoperative month. Patients with an S-LANSS score of 12 and above will be diagnosed with chronic neuropathic pain. In this scoring, the patient can get at least 0 points. He can get a maximum of 24 points. If the patient's score is 12 or above, the possibility of neuropathic pain is considered high.

Time frame
Postoperative 3rd month

Secondary outcomes

1

Short Form 12 questionnaire in the 3rd month

Short Form 12 questionnaire will be evaluated in the 3rd month to evaluate the quality of life of the patients.

Time frame
Postoperative 3rd month
2

Short Form 12 questionnaire in the 6th month

Short Form 12 questionnaire will be evaluated in the 6th month to evaluate the quality of life of the patients

Time frame
Postoperative 6th month
3

Self-leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and sign findings at 6th months

Patients; self-Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and sign (S-LANSS) findings will be evaluated in the 3rd postoperative month. Patients with an S-LANSS score of 12 and above will be diagnosed with chronic neuropathic pain. In this scoring, the patient can get at least 0 points. He can get a maximum of 24 points. If the patient's score is 12 or above, the possibility of neuropathic pain is considered high.

Time frame
Postoperative 6th month
4
