Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic pain is a significant burden to the individual and society with post-surgical pain identified as a research priority for the speciality of anaesthesia. The objectives are to explore the relationship between IENFD and pain after caesarean section and to explore the characteristics of post-caesarean section pain. The hypothesis is that reduced pre-operative IENFD at the surgical site will correlate with risk of developing CPSP.
