NCT ID NCT04624880
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a genetic marker called COMT can predict how well a person responds to hypnosis for pain after surgery. Researchers tested a new, faster method to read this gene from saliva or blood samples. The goal is to one day use a simple genetic test to personalize pain management and reduce the need for opioids.
