Blood test may predict Post-Surgery pain, study hints
NCT ID NCT07353138
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a routine blood test taken before septorhinoplasty (nose surgery) can help predict how much pain a person will feel right after the operation. Researchers will check the ratio of two types of white blood cells (neutrophils and lymphocytes) and other blood markers, then compare them to pain scores reported by patients in the recovery room. No new treatments or changes to standard care are involved—this is purely an observational study to gather information.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients aged 18-65 years who undergo elective septorhinoplasty under general anesthesia. All participants are managed according to standard clinical practice and are admitted to the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) postoperatively, where early pain assessments and routine clinical monitoring are performed. Eligible patients have a complete preoperative hemogram obtained within 30 days prior to surgery and comprehensive postoperative records, including pain scores and vital signs. Patients with conditions or treatments that could significantly affect inflammatory markers or pain perception are excluded to ensure a homogeneous study population

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients aged 18-65 years * Patients undergoing elective septorhinoplasty * Surgery performed under general anesthesia * Complete recording of early postoperative VAS pain scores, Aldrete scores, NUDES scores, and vital signs in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) * Preoperative complete blood count (hemogram) performed within 30 days prior to surgery * Clinical records and hospital information system data that are complete, accessible, and adequate for analysis Exclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing emergency surgery * Septorhinoplasty combined with additional major surgical procedures (e.g., advanced ENT or maxillofacial surgery) * Presence of known hematological disease, active infection, immunosuppressive therapy, or advanced liver or renal failure * Chronic opioid use or regular analgesic medication use in the preoperative period * History of significant clinical events between the preoperative hemogram and surgery that could alter inflammatory status (e.g., infection, hospitalization, additional surgery) * Incomplete or missing data regarding preoperative hemogram parameters or PACU pain scores
