Summary

This study followed 2,500 adults having major surgery to learn why some people develop pain that lasts months afterward. Participants answered daily questions on their phone about their mood and physical state, and researchers collected medical history and pain sensitivity tests. The goal was to build a tool that predicts persistent postsurgical pain, not to test a new treatment.
