Psychological status, real pain and antioxidant capacity of plasma, could make the prediction about the post-trauma wound healing.

Patients submitted to a trauma followed by a surgical intervention, experience pain and discomfort. Exogenous (surgical intervention, anesthesia) postoperative care, and endogenous factors, belonging to patient, especially neuro-psychological disturbances are synergic and participate together, to induce and to amplify the imbalance between oxidants/antioxidants, sustaining the appearance of oxidative injury, and worsening the wound healing. The morphological aspects are not correlated with the pain expression, but the discomfort and agitation have a great influence upon the bad evolution of organism and of wound healing.
