Acute pain after breast surgery decreases the quality of life of cancer survivors. Previous studies using a variety of definitions and methods report prevalence rates between 10% and 80%, which suggests the need for a comprehensive framework that can be used to guide assessment of acute pain and pain-related outcomes after breast surgery. A multidisciplinary task force with clinical and research expertise performed a focused review and synthesis and applied the 5 dimensional framework of the AAAPT (Analgesic, Anesthetic, and Addiction Clinical Trial Translations, Innovations, Opportunities, and Networks [ACTTION], American Academy of Pain Medicine [AAPM], American Pain Society [APS] Pain Taxonomy) to acute pain after breast surgery. Application of the AAAPT taxonomy yielded the following: 1) Core Criteria: Location, timing, severity, and impact of breast surgery pain were defined; 2) Common Features: Character and expected trajectories were established in relevant surgical subgroups, and common pain assessment tools for acute breast surgery pain identified; 3) Modulating Factors: Biological, psychological, and social factors that modulate interindividual variability were delineated; 4) Impact/Functional Consequences: Domains of impact were outlined and defined; 5) Neurobiologic Mechanisms: Putative mechanisms were specified ranging from nerve injury, inflammation, peripheral and central sensitization, to affective and social processing of pain.
The AAAPT provides a framework to define and guide improved assessment of acute pain after breast surgery, which will enhance generalizability of results across studies and facilitate meta-analyses and studies of interindividual variation, and underlying mechanism. It will allow researchers and clinicians to better compare between treatments, across institutions, and with other types of acute pain. |
