Is this trial a fit for you?

What this trial studies
This interventional study evaluates post-operative follow-up with the Thess Telemonitoring device combined with the ANTALGEEK protocol for managing acute postoperative pain in outpatients. Eligible participants are adults undergoing outpatient surgery likely to experience moderate to severe pain and willing to be followed for three months. The approach emphasizes routine, fixed-schedule analgesia with rescue options, aiming to reduce pain early after surgery and potentially prevent chronic postoperative pain. The study is conducted at Nîmes University Hospital in France under a single lead sponsor with no listed collaborators. Outcomes focus on feasibility, safety, and pain management effectiveness in the outpatient setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience better-controlled pain at home and a lower risk of developing chronic postoperative pain.
How similar studies have gone: Other telemonitoring or structured analgesia approaches in postoperative care have shown improvements in pain control and outcomes in some settings, but this specific device/protocol combination is relatively novel here.
