Study of Chronic Pain and Risk Factors in Women After Cesarean Section Tracking Pain and Postpartum Depression up to One Year After Surgery

What this Trial Is About

Persistent postoperative pain is a significant issue worldwide, particularly following cesarean section surgery. This observational study aims to understand how often and in what ways chronic pain occurs after cesarean section at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery. It also explores how factors around the time of surgery relate to chronic pain and examines the connection between long-lasting pain and postpartum depression in mothers. The study observes women who have undergone cesarean section with a specific surgical approach transverse incision in the lower uterus. Participants will be followed prospectively without any intervention, focusing on data collection related to their pain experience and other postoperative conditions. This research will use data modeling and regression analysis to identify risk factors for chronic pain and associated complications. Participants will be monitored through follow-up visits up to 12 months after surgery, during which their pain levels and any signs of depression will be assessed. Researchers will collect information on pain incidence and characteristics, adverse effects related to pain management, and other relevant outcomes. The total participation period spans from surgery through one year of postoperative observation, allowing detailed tracking of symptoms and their impact on quality of life.
