Can we predict chronic pain after a broken limb?

NCT ID NCT07237152

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This observational study from the University of Nottingham aims to find out which factors predict chronic pain after a serious limb injury. Researchers will follow 450 major trauma patients with at least one broken limb for 6 months, asking them about their pain at 3 and 6 months. The goal is to better understand who is at risk, not to test a new treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help identify which patients are most at risk for chronic pain after a limb injury, leading to better prevention and treatment strategies.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or therapy, so it cannot directly improve patient outcomes. The results may not apply to all trauma patients.
