  Purpose

In this consecutive, prospective cohort study the investigators evaluate if preoperative pain response upon heat stimulation is predictive for acute and subacute postoperative pain after total hip arthroplasty.


Condition Intervention
Pain, Postoperative
Device: heat pain test (Modular Sensory Analyzer, Somedic AB, Horby, Sweden).

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Is Preoperative Pain Response Upon Tonic Heat Stimulation Predictive for Pain After Total Hip Arthroplasty?

Further study details as provided by Hvidovre University Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Pain (from 0-24 hours after surgery) [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Pain assessed with the visual analog scale


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Pain (from day 1 to day 7 after surgery) [ Time Frame: 7 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Pain assessed with the visual analog scale

  • Pain at day 14 after surgery [ Time Frame: 14 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Pain assessed with the visual analog scale

  • Pain at day 30 after surgery [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Pain assessed with the visual analog scale

Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
THA (total hip arthroplasty)
Patients undergoing THA, preoperatively heat tested
Device: heat pain test (Modular Sensory Analyzer, Somedic AB, Horby, Sweden).
pain during heat test preoperatively

Detailed Description:

The preoperative heat stimulation consists of short and long tonic heat stimulation. Pain response is evaluated with an electronic visual analog scale.

Furthermore the investigators evaluate other factors possibly predictable for acute and subacute postoperative pain after total hip arthroplasty - demographic factors, preoperative pain related factors, psychosocial factors (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Pain Catastrophizing Scale).
