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 trial tests a program to help people with long-term (chronic) pain use less opioid medicine after surgery. It may help you reduce opioid doses while still managing your pain.
This study tests a program to help children and teens aged 8 to 18 avoid chronic pain after surgery. It may help reduce pain that lasts long after the operation.
This trial tests two different pain medicines given after surgery to see which one helps patients recover better and feel better sooner. One is a tablet placed under the tongue, and the other is a standard opioid painkiller.
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 trial looks at how well a pain-control plan works after certain orthopedic surgeries and how it affects recovery and patient-reported outcomes. It may help determine what level of pain relief is meaningful to patients after surgery.
