Abstract

Persistent post-mastectomy pain (PPMP) is a significant negative outcome occurring after breast surgery, and understanding which individual women are most at risk is essential to targeting of preventive efforts. The biopsychosocial model of pain suggests that factors from many domains may importantly modulate pain processing and predict the progression to pain persistence.
