Brief Summary:
Numerous surveys have shown that following breast surgery longterm pain affects around half of patients Given that 1 in 9 women will get breast cancer and that surgery is the cornerstone of treatment persistent pain represents a major challenge In addition to the suffering chronic pain causes to individual patients the investigators know that it places a substantial burden on families and carers and that patients with pain represent an excessive demand on healthcare resources
This research will evaluate the impact of introducing a proactive integrated care plan for patients having breast surgery It will assess the effect of the care plan on reducing the number of patients with pain at 3 and 12 months after their procedure
The personalised plan involves numerous evidence based steps linked by a single unifying description aimed at controlling pain before during and after the procedure in hospital and at home
Patients at risk of developing pain will be identified prior to the procedure and randomly allocated to follow either the personalised care plan or to receive usual care In the personalised care plan group participants will get information about chronic pain be screened for pain and offered immediate treatment During their procedure both the surgeon and the anaesthetist will offer treatments such as nerve numbing procedures that reduce the likelihood of experiencing pain
After their procedure patients will be again screened for pain and further treatment instigated Physiotherapists and other allied health professionals such as psychologists will also be involved as appropriate A package of care for pain will then be passed on to the patients GP in the form of a written pain management plan for ongoing care which will be linked to the hospital Patients from both groups will be followed up for a year at regular intervals
