Brief Summary

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

Around 6400 shoulder surgeries are performed yearly in Finland. The procedure is mainly day-case surgery and the patients go home in the afternoon. Shoulder surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in private surgical practices. Because of the complex nature of the joint, the recovery may be complicated by severe opstoperative pain, which is relieved with strong opioids. Recently this has been addressed in the literature, as prescribed opioids too often lead to substance abuse. Pain in the acute phase after surgery is one of the common risk factors for persistent postoperative pain, which is a major burden for both the individual patient and the society.

In this prospective, observational cohort study we aim to describe current standards of practice in planning and taking care of anaeshtesia and prescribing opioids and adjuvants for postoperative pain relief at home.

Around 6400 shoulder surgeries are performed yearly in Finland. The procedure is mainly day-case surgery and the patients go home in the afternoon. Shoulder surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in private surgical practices. Because of the complex nature of the joint, the recovery may be complicated by severe opstoperative pain, which is relieved with strong opioids.

Pain in the acute phase after surgery is one of the common risk factors for persistent postoperative pain, which is a major burden for both the individual patient and the society.

In this prospective, observational cohort study we aim to describe current standards of practice in planning and taking care of anaeshtesia and prescribing opioids and adjuvants for postoperative pain relief at home.

The data is collected prospectively from the care provider and the patient in a webrobol questionnaire at three time points: the day of surgery (care provider), one week after surgery (patient) and three months after surgery (patient).
