This study follows children and teens to learn how pain can last after planned orthopedic (bone) surgery in the hospital. It may help doctors better understand which kids are more likely to have long-lasting pain and how to support them.
This study is for people who have chronic post-surgical pain and have a planned surgery on a leg or the spine. The goal is to better understand this long-term pain and what may help manage it after surgery.
This trial tests a method to prevent chronic pain after surgery in people who already take opioids regularly. It may help reduce long-term pain and improve recovery.
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 tests whether checking for and treating pain early after surgery—about 3 months later—can reduce long-term pain. If you've had certain common surgeries and are pain-free now, this could help you avoid chronic pain later.
This study looks at people having planned open-heart surgery to understand why some develop long-term pain afterward. By joining, you help researchers find ways to predict and prevent chronic pain, which could improve recovery for future patients.
