Summary
The investigators investigated whether a strictly controlled pain management with patients
participating in a clinical study can attenuate persistence of post-thoracotomy pain. The
investigators also wanted to find out whether NSAID + intravenous patient-controlled
analgesia with morphine is an efficacious alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia.
