Scientists snip skin to sniff out surgery pain signals
NCT ID NCT04224870
Summary
This study aimed to understand the very start of pain after surgery by collecting small skin samples from the surgical cut at different times during the operation. Researchers analyzed these samples to find chemical and genetic signals related to pain, hoping this knowledge will lead to better, non-opioid pain treatments in the future. It involved 12 adults having surgeries lasting at least 4 hours.
