PainRelief.com: What should readers take away from your report?
Response: Inadequate pain control is common after spine surgery. Using the CAPPS score developed in this study, physicians are now able to risk-stratify in terms of patient’s likelihood of having poorly controlled postoperative pain before their operation. This score can be used educate patients on their expected pain experience and facilitate the development of personalized treatment plans to improve pain control after surgery.
PainRelief.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a result of this work?
Response: Now that we can predict which patients are likely to have a poor pain experience, future research is needed to determine whether optimization of modifiable patient risk factors (such as depression and opioid use) before surgery will lead to improved pain control
