Predicting internal belly pain after abdominal surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how well doctors can predict severe pain inside the belly after abdominal surgery. If you join, researchers will track your recovery after surgery to see if they can create a tool to help manage pain better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
