Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Therapy, Pharmacodynamic

To prevent the development of chronic postoperative pain after inguinal hernia surgery and knee replacement surgery and to further explore the mechanism behind the development of chronic postoperative pain

Secondary objectives 3

  1. The effect of Tapentadol compared to placebo on acute postoperative pain in patients planned for elective inguinal hernia surgery and knee replacement surgery.
  2. The influence of the pre-operative pain profile (inhibitory as measured by CPM and facilitatory as measured by the presence of central sensitization) on the de-velopment of chronic postoperative pain in patients with and without chronic pain in the pre-operative phase.
  3. The influence of Tapentadol and placebo on the individual pain profiles (inhibitory as measured by CPM and facilitatory as measured by the presence of central sensitization) and its influence on the development of chronic postoperative pain.
