Kids' sleep quality may predict Post-Surgery pain
NCT ID NCT06054802
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well children sleep before knee surgery and whether that affects their pain and need for painkillers afterward. Researchers will ask kids about their sleep and track their pain and opioid use for two weeks after surgery. They will also use smart pill bottles to see how accurately kids report their medication use. The goal is to better understand the link between sleep and recovery.
