Chronic persistent surgical pain (CPSP) is a complex disease with strong genetic component. The studies on revealed association of mutations in membrane bound catechol-O-methyltransferase gene with CPSP were reported indifferent ethnic populations across the globe. We identify that one out of four patients who underwent sternotomy procedure showed CPSP even after 3 months of surgery. The Mb.COMT gene sequence analysis revealed of the four patients, three patients had no mutation in Mb.COMT gene, while in one patient exhibited G472A mutation. Interestingly, this patient showed CPSP even after 90 days of surgery. The magnitude of the CPSP was evaluated with pain questionnaires' at the end of 3 months after discharge from the hospital. In this study 25% (1/4) showed presence G472A allele correlating with CPSP. Further the study suggested that evaluation of G472A allele of Mb.COMT gene in the patients undergoing sternotomy for monitoring pain in pre and post-surgical events.

Background/objective: There are several questionnaires for the challenge of anticipating opioid use disorder (OUD). However, many are not specific for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) or have been developed in the American population, whose sociodemographic factors are very different from the Spanish population, leading to scarce translation into clinical practice. Thus, the aim of this study is to prospectively validate a predictive model for OUD in Spanish patients under long-term opioids.

Analgesic-response variability in chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) has been reported due to several biological and environmental factors. This study was undertaken to explore sex differences linked to and DNA methylation changes and genetic variants in analgesic response. A retrospective study with 250 real-world CNCP outpatients was performed in which data from demographic, clinical, and pharmacological variables were collected.

Objectives: Mutations in the exon 4 of the COMT gene are associated with chronic persistent surgical pain (CPSP). Especially COMT mutated allele G472A (Val158Met) associated with CPSP patients is reported in different ethnic population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of genetic mutations and structural variations in exon 4 of COMT that can be related to the appearance of CPSP in patients under sternotomy.

Objectives: Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons individuals seek medical attention. It is a major issue because of the wide interindividual variability in the analgesic response. This might be partly explained by the presence of variants in genes encoding molecules involved in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.
