First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a simple genetic test can help doctors choose safer and more effective painkillers for women after major gynecologic surgery. About 112 women participated, and half had their pain medicine chosen based on their genes while the other half received standard care. The goal was to see if using genetic information in the electronic health record is practical and improves pain control.
