Bogomolets National Medical University2,215 enrolled

Overview

82.1% of patients with gunshot and mine-explosive wounds during hostilities in Ukraine have negative results of pain treatment, which leads to its chronicity. Identifying predictors of pain chronicity in these patients may improve their treatment outcomes.

The study of predictors of pain chronicity in patients with gunshot and mine-explosive wounds requires in-depth study, because the subjective feelings and emotional experiences experienced by patients during the wounding in combat conditions have their own characteristics. Since pain becomes chronic in 82.1%, the data of our study will play an important role in preventing the chronicity of pain.
