Investigate and Predict Aortic & Thoracic Surgery Persistenet Postsurgical Pain (ImPARTonPPP) 60 Observational Academic-Led

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT05369130 (ImPARTonPPP) is an observational study for Persistent Postsurgical Pain that is recruiting. It started on 12 June 2022 with plans to enroll 60 participants. Led by Queen Mary University of London, it is expected to complete by 1 February 2029. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 16 March 2026.
Brief Summary
This is an observational clinical study aiming to further the wider understanding of patients who develop persistent pain after Thoracoabdominal Aorta surgery, a surgical cohort who are disproportionately affected. This will be undertaken through a prospective biopsychosocial characterisation of the phenotype of patients undergoing this operation.

Increasing numbers of patients are undergoing surgery on the chest fo...
