Genetic testing study of pain after planned surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether genetic differences can help predict how much pain you may have after an elective (planned) operation. If you qualify, you may be asked to give consent and share information so researchers can compare pain experiences across people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be 18 years or older
- Have time to read and sign the consent form (written informed consent)
- Have a planned elective surgery
- Be able to understand the study’s purpose and follow instructions
- Not have cognitive impairment that affects understanding or participation

This study looks at how certain genetic differences may affect the risk of complications and recovery outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors understand who is more likely to have problems around the time of an operation.
This study tests a tool that doctors can use before surgery to predict whether you might have longer-lasting pain after bone or joint surgery. Knowing this in advance could help your care team plan better pain relief for you.
This study looks at how your genes might affect pain relief from a medication called nalbuphine after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It aims to personalize pain management based on your genetic makeup.
This study looks at whether pain you feel before emergency surgery affects long-term pain after the surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent chronic pain in patients who have emergency orthopedic (bone/joint) or abdominal (belly) surgery.
This study looks at how pain sensitivity changes before and after lung surgery. It may help doctors predict and better manage pain after the operation.
This trial tests whether your genes affect how well a common painkiller (NSAID) works for tooth pain after a root canal procedure. It may help find the best pain relief for you.
