Alteration in Pain Modulation in Women With Persistent Pain After Lumpectomy: Influence of Catastrophizing
Open accessAbstract
Context Persistent pain is common after surgical treatment of breast cancer, but fairly little is known about the changes in sensory processing that accompany such pain syndromes.Objectives This study used quantitative sensory testing to compare psychophysical responses to standardized noxious stimulation in two groups of women who had previously undergone breast cancer surgery: women with (n=37) and without (n=34) persistent postoperative pain.Methods Participants underwent a single testing session in which responses to a variety of noxious stimuli were assessed.Results Findings suggested that women with chronic pain after breast cancer surgery display enhanced temporal summation of mechanical pain, deficits in endogenous pain inhibition, and more intense painful aftersensations compared with those without long-term pain. Some of these group differences were mediated by higher levels of pain catastrophizing in the group of women with persistent pain.Conclusion These findings suggest that persistent postoperative pain is associated with alterations in central nervous system pain-modulatory processes. Future treatment studies might benefit from targeting these pain-modulatory systems, and additional studies using functional neuroimaging methods might provide further valuable information about the pathophysiology of long-term postsurgical pain in women treated for breast cancer.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
