ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a standardized way of managing pain after surgery can help patients feel better and reduce the amount of pain medication they need. The study will focus on patients who are having major surgeries on their shoulders, hips, knees, or spine. By following a specific pain management plan, the researchers want to see how it affects recovery and pain levels for these different types of operations.

To be eligible for this study, patients must be undergoing certain surgeries, like hip or knee replacements, shoulder surgeries, or major spine surgeries. It's important that participants have signed consent forms to take part in the trial. While the study is not yet recruiting participants, those who join can expect to be monitored closely to understand how well the new pain management approach works compared to standard methods. This research aims to improve care for patients after surgery and help them recover more comfortably.
