Using a smart pill bottle after major abdominal surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a smart pill bottle can help researchers collect better information about your medication routine after a major open abdominal surgery. It is a simple, non-invasive way to track your recovery without extra trips to the hospital.

This trial tests a special device that gives you pain medication (opioids) after back surgery, instead of a prescription. It may help you use just the right amount of pain medicine, and you'll use your smartphone for follow-up visits.
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 an “opioid package” plan that helps manage pain after orthopedic surgery when opioid medicines may be used. If you join, you may be offered oxycodone and asked to use MyChart and the study pharmacy process at UConn Health.
This trial compares two ways to give pain medicine through an IV pump after surgery. It tests if a smart pump that adjusts the dose based on feedback works better than a standard pump that delivers a steady, fixed dose. This might help patients use less opioid pain medicine.
This trial tests a mix of pain medicines including a strong opioid pill after surgery for broken bones, spine fusion, or joint replacement. It aims to see how well this combination controls pain and helps recovery.
This trial tests a new pain tablet (HL-1186) for people having abdominal surgery. It aims to see if the tablet is safe and works well to manage pain after the operation.
