This study follows adults in the hospital after surgery to understand how pain and opioid (strong pain medicine) use affect them. Your answers on questionnaires help researchers see what happens after different types of anesthesia.
This study tests whether giving a single dose of methadone during surgery can improve pain relief after the operation, possibly reducing the need for other painkillers and helping you recover more comfortably. It is for people having certain planned surgeries that require an overnight stay in the hospital.
