Association of functional variations in COMT and GCH1 genes with postherniotomy pain and related impairment.

Pain - 1 Feb 2015

Abstract excerpt

Persistent postoperative pain is a well-established clinical problem with potential severe personal and socioeconomic implications. The prevalence of persistent pain varies across surgery types. Severe persistent pain and related impairment occur in 5% to 10% of patients after groin hernia repair. The substantial interindividual variability in pain-related phenotypes within each surgery type cannot be explained...
