Your DNA could be the key to better, safer pain relief after surgery

NCT ID NCT07484867

Summary

This study looked at whether a person's genetics can help doctors give better pain medicine after surgery. Researchers studied 100 older adults having lung surgery to see if their specific CYP2D6 gene affects how their body processes the painkiller oxycodone. The goal was to use this genetic information to personalize pain treatment, aiming for more effective relief with fewer side effects.
