AI-Driven Approach to Optimize Patient Selection for a Transitional Pain Service
This study is testing if a special pain management program, called a Transitional Pain Service (TPS), can help prevent long-term pain and reduce the need for opioid medications after surgery. It focuses on adult patients who are at higher risk for ongoing pain. The study also wants to see if a computer tool, TPS-Select, can better identify these high-risk patients. If you join, you might receive support from the TPS, which includes personalized pain plans from a pharmacist (Pharmacologic Pain Management), possible Interventional Pain Procedures, online learning modules (Psychological Management and Pain Education), and Physical Therapy. The main goal is to see if this program reduces chronic (long-lasting) pain 90 days after surgery. This study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 126 participants. It compares patients receiving usual care to those supported by the Transitional Pain Service.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 90 days after surgery to measure the proportion of patients with chronic post-surgical pain.

What this trial measures
- Proportion of Patients With Chronic Post-Surgical Pain90 days after date of surgery
This outcome measures how many patients in each group (Standard of Care vs. Transitional Pain Service) have chronic post-surgical pain 90 days after date of surgery. Chronic post-surgical pain refers to pain that starts after surgery and lasts longer than 3 months, gets worse after 3 months, or spreads to nearby nerves or areas connected to the surgical site. To make this diagnosis, other causes-such as infection, cancer, or pain conditions from before surgery-must be ruled out.
