Acute Pain Predictors of Remote Postoperative Pain Resolution After Hand Surgery

ConclusionsThis study validates prior work and demonstrates the importance of assessing pain severity on POD 10 to identify patients at high risk for CPSP who are most likely to benefit from early pain intervention. Future research in diverse surgical cohorts is needed to further validate pain assessment on POD 10 as a significant predictor of CPSP.
