Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Up to 85% experience shoulder pain after thoracic surgery, especially on the same side as surgery are performed. Referred phrenic nerve pain is probably one cause of ipsilateral shoulder pain (ISP), and positioning of the arm during surgery another. Studies indicates that ISP can be caused by the positioning of the patient during surgery due to muscle -and ligament strain. Can a change in the surgical positioning (less press and stretch) of the ipsilateral arm effect the shoulder pain after thoracic surgery?

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard lateral positioning

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Modified lateral positioning

Modified lateral positioning. This will ensure less pressure and stretch on shoulder than standard lateral positioning.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Modified lateral positioning.

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Right before surgery, the patient are posistioned in lateral position with arm elevated (not more than 90 degree from torso). In the intervention, the arm will be lowered and placed in towards the torso for patients enrolled in the experimantal arm.

Interventions
