NCT ID NCT06466941
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a person's mental state—like anxiety, sleep problems, and fear of pain—affects how well numbing medication works during surgery. Researchers will follow 1,000 adults to see if these factors change pain levels, opioid use, and the chance of long-term pain. The goal is to better understand how to personalize pain treatment.
