Study how pain and opioids change after surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You can understand the study and agree to participate by signing written consent
- You can complete pain questionnaires and do follow-up as required
- You have not been told you are too unwell for the study based on your anesthesia risk level
