Painkiller dose during surgery may predict chronic pain months later
NCT ID NCT06374849
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether the dose of sufentanil, a strong painkiller given during non-major abdominal surgery, is linked to chronic pain 3 months after the operation. Researchers will interview 855 patients by phone to check for pain and its severity. The goal is to identify a risk factor that anesthesiologists can adjust to potentially lower the chance of long-term pain.
