Summary

This trial tests whether a specialized teleconsultation 2-4 weeks after surgery can prevent chronic postsurgical pain in people who already use opioids. Participants are randomly assigned to standard follow-up or standard follow-up plus a teleconsultation to detect poorly controlled pain, nerve pain, or opioid-related issues and adjust treatment. The study tracks pain, opioid use, and quality of life for 6 months, with the main result at 3 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
specialized teleconsultation between postoperative day 15-28 to detect and manage pain and opioid concerns
What this could lead to
If effective, this teleconsultation could become a simple, scalable way to prevent chronic pain and reduce long-term opioid use in high-risk surgical patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single trial with 354 participants, and the benefit may depend on how well patients and doctors follow the teleconsultation recommendations. Results may not apply to all types of surgery or opioid users.
