Sensory outcomes in people who use opioids
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how opioids affect the senses in people having planned surgery. Researchers want to compare patients who use opioids (for pain or addiction) with those who don't, to see if there are differences in sensation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
