Abstract

This study provides the first large-scale prospective evaluation of neuropathic pain in DCM. While neuropathic pain is prevalent and improves with surgery, residual symptoms-especially paresthesia/dysesthesia-remain common and impactful. These findings highlight the importance of individualized postoperative pain management strategies to optimize long-term QOL.
