Study to track pain and expectations in 200 cancer surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07176052
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 200 adults undergoing surgery for liver, esophagus, or pancreatic cancer. Researchers want to see how patients' expectations before surgery relate to their pain, painkiller use, and recovery afterward. The goal is to learn how to better manage pain and improve patient experience, not to test a new drug or treatment.
