The goal of this study was to detect the predictors of chronic pain at 6 months after thoracic surgery from a comprehensive evaluation of demographic, psychosocial, and surgical factors. Thoracic surgery patients were enrolled 1 week before surgery and followed-up 6 months post-surgery in this prospective, observational study. Comprehensive psychosocial measurements were assessed before surgery. The presence and severity of pain was assessed at 3 and 6 months after surgery. One-hundred seven patients were assessed during the first 3 days after surgery and 99 (30 thoracotomy and 69 video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, thoracoscopy) patients completed the 6 months follow-up. Patients with vs without chronic pain related to thoracic surgery at 6 months were compared. Both incidence (p = 0.37) and severity (p = 0.97) of surgery-related chronic pain at 6 months were similar after thoracotomy (33%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 17% to 53%, 3.3 ± 2.1) and thoracoscopy (25%, 95% CI: 15% to 36%, 3.3 ± 1.7). Both frequentist and Bayesian multivariate models revealed that severity of acute pain (numerical rating scale, 0–10) is the measure associated with chronic pain related to thoracic surgery. Psychosocial factors and quantitative sensory testing were not predictive. There was no difference in the incidence and severity of chronic pain at 6 months in patients undergoing thoracotomy versus thoracoscopy. Unlike other post-surgical pain conditions, none of the pre-operative psychosocial measurements were associated with chronic pain after thoracic surgery.
