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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
sufentanil
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help anesthesiologists choose safer doses of sufentanil to reduce the chance of long-term pain after abdominal surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational analysis of existing data, not a controlled experiment. It may only show a link, not cause, and results may not apply to other surgeries or drugs.
