ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how having a consultation with a clinical pharmacist can help manage pain for patients after they have had pacemaker surgery. The researchers want to see if talking to a pharmacist can improve how well patients handle their pain following the procedure.

To be part of this study, participants must be over 18 years old and have recently had pacemaker surgery. They also need to have a smartphone with WhatsApp so they can communicate easily. However, people with certain conditions, like ongoing chronic pain or those who are pregnant, cannot participate. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but if you or a loved one meet the eligibility criteria, you may have the opportunity to help improve pain management practices for future patients.
