Observational Study
[Reducing the pain in invasive procedures during paediatric hospital admissions: Fiction, reality or virtual reality?]
Potentially painful invasive procedures are often performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in hospitalised paediatric patients.

Severe persistent pain after groin hernia repair impairs quality-of-life. Prospective, consecutive cohort study including patients with pain-related impairment of physical and social life. Relevant surgical records were obtained, and examinations were by standardized clinical and neurophysiological tests. ⋯ This 5-year cohort study in patients with severe persistent pain after groin hernia repair signals that selection to re-surgery or pharmacotherapy, based on examination of pain sensitivity, is associated with significant improvement in outcome. Analyzing composite endpoints, combining pain and physical function, are novel in exploring interventional effects. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03713047.
