Brief Summary:
Chronic pain associated to sternotomy occurs in 40 to 50 of patients after cardiac surgery
33 to 66 of these patients suffer during 3 month and 25 to 33 have postoperative pain for at least 1 year
This pain has often negative effects on daily activity Despite its frequency and importance the etiology of this chronic pain is not completely understood
The goal of this study is to understand the mechanism of this chronic pain to prevent andor to treat better in the future
The sensitivity of the thorax after cardiac surgery seems to follow a dynamic evolution which can be observed within several weeks Therefore we decided to study this evolution
This study is different from previous ones observing the sensitivity of the thorax at a well defined moment immediately after the surgery
