Early pain screening after surgery to prevent chronic pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
