How genes affect pain after surgery in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at how certain genes may affect how children feel pain after surgery. The goal is to understand if differences in your DNA can help doctors manage pain better for each child.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 8 and 18 years old.
- Your child is scheduled for orthopedic, abdominal, chest, or plastic surgery.
- Your child must be in good general health (ASA classification I, II, or III).
- Your child cannot have certain mental health conditions like anxiety, phobias, or depression.
- Your child cannot have nerve pain from the surgery that needs special treatment.
- Your child will receive general anesthesia (not an epidural, spinal, or local block).

This study looks at whether genetic differences can help predict how much pain you may have after an elective (planned) operation. If you qualify, you may be asked to give consent and share information so researchers can compare pain experiences across people.
This study looks at how your genes might affect pain relief from a medication called nalbuphine after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It aims to personalize pain management based on your genetic makeup.
This study looks at how certain genetic differences may affect the risk of complications and recovery outcomes after surgery. It may help doctors understand who is more likely to have problems around the time of an operation.
This study looks at children who have certain types of surgery to understand who might have ongoing pain, what causes it, and how it affects them over time.
This study looks at how common long-term pain is in children and teens after they have surgery. It aims to find out who might be more likely to have ongoing pain so doctors can help prevent it.
This trial tests whether your genes affect how well a common painkiller (NSAID) works for tooth pain after a root canal procedure. It may help find the best pain relief for you.
