AI trained to predict pain in toddlers after day surgery
NCT ID NCT07274995
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a computer program (machine learning) can predict pain in children aged 1 to 3 after day surgery. Researchers will record details like age, weight, and parent anxiety before surgery, then note the child's pain scores and vital signs after surgery. No extra medications or procedures are given—the goal is simply to see how well the computer can forecast pain using the collected data.
